Welcome Onboard Catalyst
!
Ralph and Debbie welcome you aboard to share in the
experience of a lifetime.
As the wind complements a sail, and the ocean complements
the sunset, so do Debbie & Ralph Harris bring this
harmony aboard - experience, character and personality
being the three key elements to the perfect hosts.
Although they are only in their mid thirties, Debbie and
Ralph have achieved a great deal in past years.
Ralphs chosen path took him into Hotel Management
& Catering, where after graduating, his career kicked
off at one of the top hotels in South Africa.
After three years, Ralph decided to travel to Europe
and the UK to develop his skills and experience. A few of
his appointments were as executive butler for Rolls
Royce, London Hyatt, Waldorf Hotel and time aboard the
Queens Thames River Boat servicing royalty and other big
names such as Prince Phillip, Princess Michael of Kent,
Crown Prince of Morocco, as well as Frank Bruno, Roger
Moore and Sean Connery. As if that werent enough,
Ralph also did a stint at the famous London store -
Harrods, as a wine & spirits consultant and cocktail
barman. On returning to South Africa, Ralph became a
partner in a wholesale bakery and coffee shop and through
his management and expertise built these up to be
lucrative concerns. Ralphs achievements go on to
include a Dive Master qualification and his Yacht Master
Ocean License.
Having grown up in Durban, Debbie came through her
schooling and completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree
with honors. Taking advantage of her accomplishment, she
went onto develop her management skills in various large
corporations -ranging from a well known newspaper to a
chocolate manufacturer and then into the pharmaceuticals
world. Building new product lines, enhancing packaging,
advertising and sales management, brought out the best in
Debbie and she soon reached top management level.
Debbies love for life and people have not only
enhanced her career, but also brought her and Ralph
together. They share many sporting interests such as
tennis, swimming cycling and squash (racquetball). Not to
be outdone by Ralphs culinary expertise, Debbie
boasts her own gourmet qualification and along with Ralph
looks forward to tantalizing you with every dish served.
Knowing that the secret to success is team work, Debbie
and Ralph work closely together paying particular
attention to guests preferences and offer a service
aboard which is unsurpassed.
