Lené Conradie, Captain

Lené Conradie

Captain

South African · Speaks English, Afrikaans

Hailing from George in South Africa’s Western Cape, Lené Conradie has always had a passion for adventure, sports, and a good challenge. She started her sailing career while still in high school, which quickly led to instructor roles at top South African sailing schools, focusing on building a rock-solid foundation in seamanship, safety, and leadership from day one.

Lené brings a serious depth of experience to the helm. She has logged two Atlantic crossings and navigated some of the toughest winter conditions in the Baltic, North Sea, and North Atlantic. Her technical expertise goes far beyond navigating, too—she spent four and a half months at world-renowned luxury catamaran manufacturer Sunreef Yachts, overseeing a build from 60% completion through final outfitting, sea trials, launch, and, of course, delivery from Poland to the Caribbean.

Now heading into her fifth charter season in the BVI, she thrives on running smooth, safe, and seamless voyages with diverse international crews and clients, always putting safety first while making every guest feel totally at ease.

Off the water, Lené is pure positive energy. She’s an avid athlete who loves hiking, tennis, golf, and spending quality time with family. Always smiling and quick to share her love for the outdoors and animals, Lené is thrilled to run Encore alongside her fiancé and First Mate, Herman Bester, bringing guests an unforgettable mix of top-tier professional care and effortless Caribbean warmth.

Herman Bester, First Mate

Herman Bester

First Mate

South African · Speaks English, Afrikaans

From the charming coastal town of Saldanha, South Africa, has a deep-rooted passion for the ocean, cultivated through years of snorkeling, fishing, and surfing. With a degree in Sports Science and a newfound love for scuba diving, Herman is dedicated to ensuring guest safety and comfort during dives and all other watersports activities. His keen eye for detail and commitment to vessel upkeep reflect his pride in his work. With a background in hospitality, Herman guarantees that each guest leaves with a smile and unforgettable memories.

Christina Merianos, Chef

Christina Merianos

Chef

American · Speaks English

A Cincinnati native, Greek-American, and New Yorker of 20 years, Chef Christina took a wonderfully unconventional path to the galley.

After spending 15 years in fashion merchandising in New York City, Christina followed a lifelong love of food and hospitality and traded fashion for a culinary career. Encore marks her sixth season cooking in the British Virgin Islands, a place she has come to know and love — both for its beauty and for the incredible ingredients the Caribbean has to offer.

Christina’s love of cooking began long before her career as a yacht chef. She grew up in a Greek-American family where food was at the heart of everything, learning to cook alongside her family and inheriting recipes and traditions she still brings into her galley today. Her Greek roots remain a strong influence in her cooking, from treasured family recipes to specialty ingredients she personally sources from Greece.

Travel is another constant source of inspiration. During the off-season, Christina explores the world through its food — wandering markets, discovering local specialties and bringing new flavors and ideas home with her. She is happiest hunting down the freshest local seafood, beautiful produce and the best ingredients she can find, creating menus that blend Mediterranean roots, Caribbean freshness and inspiration gathered from around the globe. An avid baker as well as a chef, she believes thoughtful sourcing and cooking from scratch make all the difference.

For Christina, being a yacht chef is about much more than food. Having spent most of her adult life in hospitality, she genuinely loves taking care of people. Bright, bubbly and quick to laugh, she brings warmth and energy to the galley and loves creating the kind of meals guests talk about long after their charter ends.

She is especially excited to return to the BVI aboard Encore and to work alongside Lené and Herman, a team whose friendship, shared passion for hospitality and love of life on the water make Encore feel like home.

For Christina, this isn’t simply a job — it’s a career built around everything she loves: cooking beautiful food, exploring the world and creating unforgettable experiences around the table.

Cuisine & sample menus

Culinary experiences aboard Encore emphasize innovative, top-tier cuisine crafted with fresh, locally harvested produce, house-baked goods from the galley, and responsibly sourced seafood and meats.

Our skilled chef effortlessly adapts menus to accommodate any dietary requirement—including picky eaters, specific health restrictions, and gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or pescetarian diets—provided we receive advance notice.

Meal plans are adaptable, allowing us to adjust based on guest preferences, navigation routes, local island stock, and the chef's culinary talents.

If you are marking a special occasion that requires bespoke cakes, themed decor, or extravagant desserts, please let us know early. We may suggest you take in a happy hour on land while our team prepares an unforgettable surprise for your return.

Incredible service

Huge Thanks!

Huge thanks to the Encore Crew for putting up with us this week! Thanks for the incredible service, endless laughs, amazing meals & making sure we made it back to the boat after each stop. You 3 made this trip unforgettable – we could stay aboard the Encore forever, but until next time... thanks again!

Exceeded our expectations

We had such an amazing time traveling the BVI onboard Encore. The boat is pristine, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the crew…top notch. I cannot think of a single thing that was missing! My favorite part was simply relaxing on the top deck, taking in the fresh air and scenery. The boat is stunning and so comfortable. But the best part is the crew, y’all are simply the best at what you do and it wouldn’t be the same without you.

Thank you for putting up with our crazy antics. Thank you for taking us on those hikes that we huffed and puffed through, but wow, it was all so worth it. Thank you for all the cocktails and delicious food. We cannot wait to return!

Enjoy the rest of the season, and we look forward to hearing updates on your travels!

All the best,
Ashley
