Captain:
Vince Grandmaison Nationality: Canadian
June and Vince are an adventurous and outgoing couple
who look forward to welcoming you aboard Quest. They are
world travelers who first met in Thailand and they have
visited many remote parts of South East Asia, where they
have been diving on some of the most untouched coral reef
left in the world.
In the past few years they have worked on a variety of
vessels in the South Pacific, New Zealand and the Mediterranean.
Their passion for sailing and diving brought them to the
Caribbean, where they enjoy sharing the beauty of this
tropical paradise.
Vince is Canadian and has been sailing for the past
10 years. After teaching sailing in Canada, he was drawn
to more distant shores, which brought him to the four
corners of the earth. He finished his captain education
and obtained his Yacht Master Offshore certificate in
New Zealand, where he worked on some of the fastest
yachts in the world. In 2006 Vince served as a watch
captain on a New Zealand team in and Auckland -Fiji
Ocean Race and proudly won first place onboard and ex-
Whitbread racing boat named Lion New Zealand. Ever since
a young age Vince has had a big attraction for the tropical
islands of the Caribbean. Now that he’s arrived,
he is eager to put in to use the great seamanship and
people skills that he gained his long adventure around
the world!
In addition to that, Vince also worked as a snowboard
instructor and a rafting guide in Canada.
June, your Chef and Divemaster, will help you discover
the beauty of the Virgin Island coral reefs and treat
you to some of her finest gourmet dishes. Born in Denmark,
she began her restaurant experience as a waitress but
made her way to the kitchen, where, for her, all the
action is. She has worked in variety of restaurants,
and knows the importance of quality ingredients and
beautiful presentation. June was brought up with knowledge
of the oceans and diving. Her father was a commercial
diver, and she often accompanied him on the working
ships seeing life at sea first hand. When June left
Denmark on her own odyssey she wanted to explore the
deep blue underwater world of the tropics. Her PADI
education began in India and has so far reached the
level of Divemaster.
Besides diving June likes the active outdoor life.
Committed to showing you the best time in this relaxing
environment, June and Vince will bring you into a world
of adventure onboard Quest!
