CREW

Captain Arno Hess and his wife, Petra, are the owner / operator of this unique charter Yacht. 

Arno is 40 years old and comes from Switzerland. An engineer by profession, with motor-cycle-racing as his hobby, Arno was part owner with his father in a sportswear company which manufactured and sold specialist sportswear for professionals. When his father bought HITAUK, Arno rebuilt her into this luxury cruiser. 

Now his second hobby, sailing, became his profession! As a qualified captain with a 400 ton license, Arno brought HITAUK across the Atlantic to the Virgin Islands. He is running charters here with his yacht for over 10 years. 

As an experienced dive-instructor, he loves to teach his guests scuba diving and to show the beauties of the undersea world. 

His wife Petra, 41 years old, is from Germany. She started working professionally in restaurants when she was 19 years old and soon became an owner of restaurants in Germany. Being a chef, she loves catering to her guests on HITAUK and transforms the yacht into a intimate, floating hotel. Apart from cooking, she's also a whiz at making cocktails. She won third prize in the International Cocktail Championship in Germany! 

As an Assistant Instructor, Petra loves to assist Arno with diving and to guide their guests around the wonderful dive sites in the BVI. 

Arno and Petra's experience and their deep passion for the beauty of the sea and these tropical islands is a guarantee for a great time and a relaxing vacation!
