Damien Craig
Captain
Damien grew up in the town of Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, where he attended Maritzburg College — one of the country’s most respected schools for both academics and athletics. Excelling in rugby, cricket, and water polo at competitive levels, Damien’s passion for sport and teamwork was evident from an early age.
With his family owning a farm inland, he also developed a love for horses, spending much of his youth playing polo. At a crossroads between pursuing polo professionally or, as his father would say, “finding a real job,” Damien chose a different adventure that would shape the rest of his life.
At the age of 18, yachting entered his world — what was meant to be a short-term experience quickly evolved into a lifelong passion. Over the years, Damien has navigated yachts across the globe, completing two full circumnavigations and visiting all seven continents, including a memorable two-month expedition in Antarctica.
It’s hard to keep Damien away from the water. In his downtime, you’ll often find him wing-foiling around windy bays or exploring new coastlines.
Damien now resides in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, with his wife Sam and their three beautiful daughters — Giselle, Francesca, and Willow.

James Frew
First Mate
Born in Nelson, but having grown up in various coastal towns and cities around New Zealand, James was exposed to the sea from a very early age, leading to a deep love for the salt air. From paddling at the beach as a toddler to becoming a competitive dingy sailor as a teenager, it was only a matter of time before a career was made from the water one way or another. Building boats became the goal, and with this in mind, James started what would become a five year apprenticeship constructing some of the finest vessels on the water.
Discovering that once they are built, boats tend to travel around to the beautiful and sunny parts of the world, chisels and chalk were given up for charts and a chammy. Several years on and many miles covered across the world’s oceans and seas, James’ affinity for the water has only strengthened.
When not keeping Curfew looking her absolute best, chances are James will be somewhere outdoors, likely out fishing, up the nearest mountain or looking for the best spots for food in town.
Morgen Wallerich
Chief Stew

Sierra Vick
Stewardess
Sierra grew up in Clearwater, Florida, and began her yachting career three years ago after working as a private estate manager.
Her creativity and eye for detail naturally led her into the interior side of yachting, where she enjoys creating a warm and inviting atmosphere on board.
With a love for all things artistic, Sierra spends her free time making jewelry, upcycling vintage furniture, and watercoloring at the beach. A fun fact about Sierra — She’s also a longtime fan of old school R&B and hip-hop!
Christian Mountain
Deckhand
Born and raised in the Northeast, Christian learned the value of hustle early, barbacking in his father’s restaurant long before legal age of employment. He spent his teenage years “optimizing” profit margins by pouring 2-liter bottles of liquor into 750s, a move that somehow led to a six-year detour in finance.
After realizing his hairline wouldn’t survive another quarterly report, Christian made the “worst best decision ever” trading spreadsheets for saltwater and joined the yachting world.
When he’s not scrubbing decks or plotting his caviar empire, he’s dreaming up ways to merge fine dining and luxury yachting into one seamless experience, on both land and sea.
Off duty, you’ll find him watching the Yankees lose (again) or taking long “elevated” walks in nature while convincing himself it’s for enlightenment, not cardio.
