Obsession's Crew

mate , Petra and Captain Arno Hess

Please accept our invitation to experience what it would be like to choose your vacation of a lifetime aboard the Motor Yacht Obsession. 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 of the Caribbean.

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 July the owners of motor yacht Obsession approached him to run their yacht in charter. They were drawn to him through knowledge of his skills of Captaining 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 Obsession.

Chef 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 Obsession 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.

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 Obsession!
