Robert Marx - Captain

Robert, a farm boy from South Africa, had to learn early on how to fix things and to be innovative when you can’t find parts for machinery or equipment. After helping his dad on the farm for several years, he joined a Construction company where he traveled all over the Eastern Cape of SA, managing new building sites.

In 2006 he joined the yachting industry and spent his first year as the Chief Engineer on the 164ft M/Y Chantel Ma Vie. When the opportunity arose for him to work with his wife, they joined M/Y El Jefe where he started as Mate/Engineer before becoming the Captain onboard in 2009. He has since completed a ton of successful charters as Captain and has cruised all over the Caribbean, Bahamas and up and down the US East Coast.

In 2022 Robert and his wife joined M/Y Unbridled and he is ready to take guests on the adventure of a lifetime. His meticulous attitude ensures all systems are running smoothly and are well maintained for a safe and carefree vacation. His easy-going nature will make you feel comfortable from the moment you step onboard. He likes to make people laugh and keep guests active and entertained. When not navigating the crystal-clear waters off some tropical island, Robert enjoys motor sports, fishing, camping and watching documentaries.


Daphne Marx - Chief Stewardess

Daphne was born in South Africa’s windy city, Port Elizabeth. She always dreamed of being on big boats and wanted to explore the world. After college, she started working in the construction industry as a property and project manager, but eventually, the call of the ocean won and Daphne, along with her husband, decided to quit their land base jobs and started a new adventure.

For the past 14+ years, she has worked on yachts ranging from 107ft to 200ft, where her calm demeanor and can-do attitude made her a favorite amongst owners, guests, and crew. Professional, personable and caring best describes Daphne. With her background in Property Management and her experience in service, she has a great eye for detail and is adept at being invisible when necessary, yet appearing at just the right moment to ensure everything runs smoothly. Daphne’s passion for her job makes her the perfect hostess, always on hand to anticipate guests' needs.

When Daphne is not planning a theme night or making cocktails, she loves to do photography while exploring new places. She also loves camping and hiking, or relaxing with a good book or movie.


D’Andre Hepburn - Chef

Born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas, D’Andre began his culinary journey, at his mother's side, cultivating a love for the culinary arts. His formal training at Monroe College in New York marked the beginning of a distinguished career, working alongside some of the world's most renowned chefs. Notably, his time working under the mentorship of world-renowned Michelin Star chef, Daniel Boulud in New York, played a pivotal role in shaping and molding his career.

His artistic flair and infectious passion for food have taken him across the globe, showcasing his unique style. In the last seven years, D’Andre has taken his culinary expertise to the high seas, working as a private chef on various Motor Yachts. This experience has allowed him to travel the world, immersing himself in different food cultures. His ultimate vision is to create an enriching atmosphere for his team, fostering both enjoyment in their work and continuous improvement in his own culinary knowledge.

When chef Dee is not fattening up charter guests and crew, he loves exploring the great outdoors and enjoys fishing.


Nicholas Frost - Mate/Dive Master

Growing up in South Africa was a lot of fun and being surrounded by the ocean, mountains and vineyards was amazing, but Nick wanted to travel, explore new things and meet new people. Nick’s first introduction to world of big ships and yachts started when he worked on cruise liners as a pastry chef. After 2 years he decided to accept a position as restaurant manager. It did not take long for him to realized that even though he loved hospitality, he needed to be on the water and not be stuck in an office.

In 2018 Nick made the move to yachts and has since come to the conclusion that yachting is the best job in the world and that there is nothing that can beat it. Once he settled in his first position onboard, he took up diving which he enjoyed so much, that he eventually completed almost all the dive courses he could find and 2022 obtain his Dive Master’s Certification.

Nick also hold his Yacht Master 200t Off-shore and OOW certification and his goal is to complete his 3000 ton Masters ticket. Nick’s love for the ocean easily shows when he talks about diving, surfing or other water sport activities. He loves to teach guests how to use all the toys and how to do backflips off the big boat.

His spontaneous and friendly personality makes him the perfect crew member to help both kids and adults have endless fun. After work Nick loves to go running, enjoy hiking or to do any other activities that can bring him closer to nature.


Johane' Naude - Deck/Stew

Johane’s (Jo) love for travel began at a very young age, as her family moved all around South Africa. During one of those moves, her family settled in the picturesque and windy city of Port Elizabeth. It is here that Jo developed a deep affection for the ocean and all it has to offer.

Jo spend all her holidays on her grandparents guest farm where she quickly learned all the insand-outs of hospitality. After relocation to the fast-paced city life of Pretoria, completing high school and working two years in the medical field, Jo still longed to return to the coast and eventually found her way back to the ocean through yachting. With her bubbly personality and natural flair for hospitality, she was able to merge it with her passion for the ocean, which was perfect to start her new career in yachting.

Since joining the industry she has worked as Deck/Stew on both private and charter yachts, always striving to give guests the best possible experience onboard, while helping guests create lasting memories in some of the most beautiful locations..

When Jo is not mixing cocktails or assisting with water toys, she loves to explore new destinations and meeting new people. A devoted Formula 1 fan, she dreams of becoming a F1 driver, but for now she will settle for driving the tender and enjoying the ride.

Craig & Robert the best, always alert safety.

If I get to do this again, I won't go without the crew & ship!

The crew on UNBRIDLED is top-notch. Every need met, the incredible service unmatched.

We truly enjoyed every minute of this trip and already thinking about our next trip on this amazingly beautiful boat.

Each member of this crew has our hearts , and we loved getting to know each of them.

Captain Robert and his expert driving and always keeping safety a # 1 priority. He also has great dance skills.

Daphne always had a smile on her face and thought of every special touch with theme nights, creating an amazing video to leave with, and mixing up the best drinks.

Craig always brought the fun energy, and always was there to lend a hand with a smile.

Vera, our little clean up "fairy" kept everything so tidy and neat. We literally didn't have to lift a finger on this relaxing vacation.

Finally let's talk about "D" and his cooking skills. Thanks for the 10 lbs. extra we are all leaving with. Your cooking is truly an artform and we loved everything!

Thank you UNBRIDLED crew for a trip of a lifetime.

We are truly grateful!

Daphne is a fabulous mixologist & had a special drink for us on every return.

Vera was awesome in her attention to every detail in our stateroom & had our laundry & wet bathing suits & sheets dried & folded neatly on our beds every evening.

Craig took such good care of us on every excursion & handled every task with ease.

Robert, I enjoyed sitting next to you at every part of the excursion. You are a land of knowledge with so much experience & I learned a ton from you to help me when I get home docking my boat.

Thanks again for the entire crew who made this so special.

***March 22 to 29, 2024***

UNBRIDLED crew,

Thank you for the incredible journey!

Even though the weather did not participate for the week we still had a fabulous time.

We will definitely miss the drinks and hand towels that we received each time when returning to the boat.

We also enjoyed D's cooking and I know X would love to bring back his burritos.

Many thanks.

Dear UNBRIDLED,

From the moment we first stepped on board we felt welcome and treated as special guests. The crew was always available, helpful and paying attention to the smallest of details. Every meal was a 5 star experience from the table & dinning décor to the dessert and everything in between.

We appreciated how well Captain Robert communicated with us about each day and was always focused on our amazing experience.

Daphne took extra care of getting to know each of us personally, executing perfect themes from cocktails to décor.

Vera, James & Chef Rafael also went above and beyond to ensure it was a first class experience.

Thank you for these lifetime memories!

Thank you all SOOOO much!

This vacation was so incredible because of the crew. We had so much fun and we don't want to go home.

We probably drank 100 gallons of Bay Breezes thanks to Daphne + Vera, we have a new favor drink now.

We had an amazing time on all the beaches we went to, especially the beach picnic day.

We see how much work it is to put that all together so thank you all for making it happen.

D - you are insane at what you do. Truly no words can sum up how delicious every meal was. Thank you!!!

Cap and Craig thanks for always making sure we had the island and all of the toys available, we had so much fun every day...and X promises to use the jet ski properly next time ;)

You all made this week so special and you all feel like family now. If you are ever in Colorado please let us know, we would love to see you.

Until next time! Hope it's not too long.

*** November 2021***

Hi Rod and Captain Clifford,

The xxx family and their guests had a fabulous time aboard UNBRIDLED and could not say enough good things about Captain Clifford, the crew in general and also the chef. He is so happy with the service he is sending a 25% gratuity for the crew!!!

He said the trip turned out better than they expected… and said the boat was good and the crew were phenomenal. The Chef is of the chart!

He said the weather wasn’t the best but not too bad either and said Clifford was great at finding little bays with calm waters… and that the crew made his friend’s wedding on board beautiful.

Thank you to all the crew and the Owner for helping to make the switch to St. Maarten from VI workable for this group, and REALLY thank you Clifford and all your crew for knocking this charter out of the park!!! 😊


***December 2020***



Hi Clifford and your stellar crew,

I had a wonderful conversation with Mr. and Mrs. yesterday. They were absolutely thrilled with their trip on Unbridled. I think that you set the trip off to a great start by meeting them at the airport; they commented that this set the tone for the exemplary service provided by all of the crew throughout the charter. They LOVED the food, the relaxed ambiance, and the dedication of the crew. They were very grateful for all of the watersports time, noting that the fly board and Hannah learning to wakeboard were a couple of the many highlights. Everything onboard was perfect! They really enjoyed the camaraderie of the crew and how “hands on” you are as a captain.

Thanks for taking such wonderful care of them. You all hit it out of the ballpark for this family!

***November 2020 (Broker Feedback)***


Thank you for sending this little questionnaire, I’m pleased to respond as follow:

1. How was your experience working with Captain Clifford?

2. How was your clients overall experience with the yacht?
The entire family was extremely pleased, they said will do another trip onboard of UNBRIDDLED but this time in the Caribbean. The primary heavily addressed they had the best time and trip of their lives. The chef was unbelievable, with variety of dishes everyday, the stew went on and beyond for them as well as the Capt. Clifford pleasing them on every move.
3. How was your clients experience with the crew?
AMAZING, A+++++++!!!!!!
4. How was your experience working with the CA?
My Overall experience with Rod was outstanding, he is hands on top of his game, very responsive on everything I needed.
5. Would you recommend Unbridled in the future?
Absolutely, to all clients looking for a yacht in the Bahamas / Caribbean area.


It was a pleasure working with you. Many thanks for everything.
