About

Namaste

Life need not be about compromise. The 78’ Privilege sailing yacht Namaste is the result of 7 years of research, design, and construction to build a vessel combining the owners’ passion for creating cutting-edge machines with their equally passionate commitment to design. Namaste sports world-class amenities and equipment including a customizable spa experience. She is also fast. With a performance mainsail and four headsails including the spinnaker, Namaste routinely does 10 knots in 12 knots of wind and has sustained speeds over 20 knots. She is lovingly operated by the crew of Thomas, Glenn, Constanza, and Mollie, who have 30 years of combined experience in the yachting industry. They are committed to making the dream of luxury adventure come alive.

Namaste’s luxury and innovation cannot be found elsewhere. The owners’ motivation is simple: attract, over time, a small group of repeat guests who appreciate a higher level of experience. Namaste’s journey will take it around the globe, with a different location as our base of operations each season. By doing so, the Namaste experience will exhilarate and inspire guests for many years.

Opportunities to charter Namaste are limited and repeat guests have priority on future bookings.

About Thomas

Thomas

CAPTAIN

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Namaste’s Captain Thomas has always had a passion for the ocean. Because both of his parents were sailing fanatics, it was only natural that Thomas spent his childhood partaking in every water sport imaginable. It became very clear that his drive would point him toward a career on the water.

Thomas graduated from nautical college with a bachelor’s in Water Management and a minor in Smart Water, followed by a master’s in Hydrology. After graduation, Thomas worked as a first officer on sailing yachts up to 500GT. He quickly realized that the size of these yachts limited his interaction with guests. He therefore decided to obtain his Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean certifications and become a captain on smaller sailing vessels. He has worked both in flotillas in the Mediterranean and in the south Caribbean on luxury sailing charter yachts. Thomas is fluent in English and Dutch.

About Glenn

Glenn

FIRST MATE

Glenn began his career as a multi qualified watersports instructor pursuing his childhood love for windsurfing, kayaking and dinghy sailing. After teaching at a high wind resort in Egypt he started working on yachts. After many deliveries and charters on luxury yachts, he has thousands of miles under his belt. Glenn is also a PADI Rescue Diver and loves exploring the reefs with photography equipment. With a degree in media and his drone pilot’s license Glenn is always happy to help guests capture special moments during their time onboard Namaste.

About Constanza

Constanza

STEWARDESS

Constanza grew up in the rural area of San Pedro in Uruguay among fruit trees, animals, and South American cowboys “Gauchos”. This upbringing gave her a strong connection with nature that led her to develop a love of trekking, rock climbing and kite surfing.

After completing her degree in Public Relations, Constanza immersed herself in the world of hospitality both on land and at sea. She has worked on yachts for almost ten years cruising the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Pacific. Her passion for the sea and interest in maritime exploration led her to pursue and complete her PADI Divemaster certification. Constanza enjoys taking Namaste’s guests on unforgettable underwater adventures. She always strives to give guests a memorable stay, making them feel at home with her warm and welcoming personality. Constanza is fluent in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and basic Norwegian.

About Kate

Kate

CHEF

Chef Kate’s relationship with sea and seafood began in her childhood on the mid-Atlantic coast. She began working in restaurants in her teens, learning from chefs in both pizza kitchens and private country clubs. Valuing food for its prismatic ability to nurture, entertain, and bring people together, she has long enjoyed cooking for others.

After two seasons as logistics coordinator for a live-aboard summer camp in St. Martin, Kate returned to North Carolina and ran a small concert venue and bar for five years. But the ocean was calling, and Kate returned to the Caribbean as a yacht chef. 4 years and 10,000 nautical miles later, she brings her experience to Namaste. Outside the galley, Kate loves to hike, swim, and is learning to kite surf.
