Chef Tertia
A Passion for Culinary Arts and Exceptional Hospitality
Tersia Conradie grew up in sunny Johannesburg, South Africa, where she cultivated a love for connection and creativity. After completing her senior certificate, she earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance from RA University. However, after years in the corporate world, Tersia discovered that her true passion lay not in numbers, but in people—and in creating memorable experiences for them.
Her love for socializing and the culinary arts inspired Tersia to leave the corporate sector and open a restaurant, where she thrived as a hostess and chef, combining her flair for entertaining with her talent for preparing exceptional dishes. Meeting her husband, Louis, on a sailing holiday further sparked her love for the ocean, which became the foundation for their shared adventures in yachting and chartering.
Tersia has brought her vibrant energy, culinary skills, and warm hospitality to the charter world, delivering extraordinary guest experiences. During the 2023 season in the Caribbean, Tersia dazzled guests with her exceptional hosting and delectable cuisine, leaving a lasting impression on all who sailed with her. In 2024, she continued her journey in the Bahamas, where the turquoise waters inspired her to create even more unforgettable experiences for her guests.
With a passion for cooking, a love for entertaining, and a genuine desire to make guests feel at home, Tersia is dedicated to turning every charter into an unforgettable adventure filled with exquisite meals and heartfelt hospitality.
