WHISKEY SUNSET Yacht Charter Catamaran

We are thrilled to welcome back James and Phoebe for another season onboard Whiskey Sunset!

Captain James Cotter

James grew up on a farm in the British countryside. From a young age, he was obsessed with anything and everything mechanical, competing in go-kart racing and demolition derbies. He spent summers in his father's Irish coastal hometown of Dungarvan, where he developed a love for the ocean and entertaining.

He started a career in the luxury eyewear industry working for brands such as TAG Heuer and Calvin Klein, but eventually, his love for the ocean won out and drew him toward a career in the yachting industry. He has worked for three years as a charter captain in various locations including Croatia, French Polynesia and The Virgin Islands.

CHEF
Phoebe Hooker

Phoebe grew up in a small beach town on the coast of Queensland Australia surrounded by the ocean, the rainforest and her incredibly big family. Her passion for meeting people from all walks of life and serving love through incredible food around a dining table is what she loves most in this world. Her motto is simple, satisfying, nutritious meals packed with flavour that warm the soul.

Phoebe has worn many hats from every corner of the hospitality world, from the service industry, to nanny roles and family social work management, but she really came to life when she joined the yachting industry cheffing and hosting in the Mediterranean. It combines her love of food, people, adventure and she gets to watch every sunrise and sunset over the water!
