Chef
Keagan van Blerk

BIO
Keagan is a South African adventurer, traveler, and food enthusiast. Born in Pretoria, Keagan spent most of her childhood being homeschooled. From a young age, she had a burning desire to travel the world and experience new cultures. Her love for the ocean led her to become a lifeguard, a decision that eventually opened up a world of opportunities.
Keagan's first solo adventure began after an offer to work as a lifeguard for the MSC Cruise Line in Mozambique. It was there that she discovered scuba diving, which quickly became her passion. Upon returning to South Africa, Keagan took up a job as a bartender to pay for her diving courses. Her new found love for scuba diving motivated her to pursue a career in the diving industry, and she landed a job at a 5-star dive center, where she gained invaluable knowledge and experience.
Keagan's sense of adventure and desire to explore the world led her to join a delivery on a sailing yacht as a chef, traveling from Richards Bay, South Africa to Kenya. This experience introduced her to the world of sailing, which she immediately became hooked on. During her 3-month voyage, she traveled to various islands, experiencing different cultures and local dishes. In Zanzibar, the locals introduced her to their cuisine, their way of living, and the secret of multiple spice combinations, which only fueled her curiosity to explore different cuisines further.
Keagan's fascination with food and cooking led her to attend cooking courses in Cape Town. Her creative, imaginative mind explored the world of food, and she found herself experimenting with different flavors and spices, creating unique and delicious dishes.
Today, Keagan continues to pursue her passion for travel, scuba diving, sailing, and cooking. Her adventurous spirit, coupled with her love for food, has taken her on a journey of discovery that has enriched her life in countless ways.

The Bali 4.8 design was new to the market in 2020 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. The design is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space. It succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit of Deborah Anne. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art.
