Centre Court's Crew

Captains Arno and Petra Hess

Please accept our invitation to experience what it would be like to choose your vacation of a lifetime aboard the Motor Yacht Centre Court. Set your watches to tides and the winds, instead of appointments and deadlines. Leave the traffic lights, rush hours and commuting behind. Let the view through crystal clear waters determine whether to snorkel a colorful reef, dive a wreck or fish for tuna or wahoo while cruising the pristine waters.

Your Crew:
Captain Arno Hess of Switzerland, traded his engineering career, his interest in a pro sportswear company and his hobby of motorcycle racing to pursue a life on the sea.
After his father purchased the historic classic yacht Hitauk, Arno set about restoring her to a beautiful luxury cruiser. Upon completing her restoration, and after obtaining his 400 ton Captain's License, sailed her across the Atlantic and has been happily providing countless charters aboard Hitauk for many years in the waters of the Caribbean. In early October the owners of motor yacht Centre Court approached him to run their yacht in charter. They were drawn to him through knowledge of his skills of Captaning many different types of vessels and to his long-term familiarity with the very beautiful waters of the Virgin Islands. Arno and his wife Petra, a highly skilled chef, accepted the position, making way for a happy blend of Captain, accomplished chef and sleek motor yacht.

Since then, Arno and Petra have fallen in love all over again, but this time with Centre Court. Enough to even retire their own yacht and to commit as permanent crew!

Chef and Mate Petra not only has a contagious laugh and engaging personality but her cooking is enticingly delicious. As a professional chef and previous owner of two restaurants in Germany, Petra's talents totally transform Centre Court into an intimate and elegant floating villa. Additionally, her experience working on several mega-yachts as chef over her many years in these islands, brings to her skills a wonderful melding of creativity and flexibility.

The alliance of Arno and Petra, with their lively dispositions, ready smiles and their knowledge of and deep passion for the beauty of the sea and these tropical islands, ensures a predictable result. You will have the time of your life aboard Centre Court!
