HOWARD and MICHELLE
MASSEY-HICKSOwner run and living their dream, Howard and Michelle
started Danforth Yachting lodge and yacht charters in
2001. The couple have both sailed since their youth and
both grew up enjoying watersports. They decided to sell
up their town based electrical business, to live and
work on Lake Malawi.
Howard is an Electrical Engineer, turned mariner. He has
over 40,000 nautical miles under his belt and is
regarded as the authority on sailing and navigating Lake
Malawi. Howard is also a PADI Divemaster, Hobie-cat
sailor, waterskier, fisherman and larger than life host!
The yacht Mufasa is his pride and joy and Howard makes
sure the yacht is maintained in pristine condition.
Michelle's job description is diverse - everything from
yacht crew, hostess, administrator and kitchen
supervisor, to waterski demonstrator and seamstress!
Michelle adds the feminine touch to the lodge and is
ever the gentle hostess. Howard and Michelle make a
formidable team and are the backbone behind Danforth
Yachting.
