Captain: Luke
Your Skipper: Luke
Luke was born in Johannesburg but grew up in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The lifestyle that a small city offers allowed him to fully participate in schooling activities, club sports and the time to maximise all that life by the ocean has to offer. Luke has always been an outdoors person since he can remember, enjoying the raw beauty nature has to offer which is all around us. He believes this is where his passion for yachting stems from and satisfaction he gets from being your Captain.
His captaining experience since his first catamaran navigating the entire Croatian coastline to more recently crossing the Atlantic Ocean from South Africa to the Caribbean, has indeed taught him many valuable lessons and allowed him to develop a high level of responsibility.
Luke defines himself as energetic, helpful, persistent, hardworking, and possesses a strong willingness to learn. Not only this, but Luke’s determined to provide an unforgettable charter experience.
Luke’s motto: “Life is an adventure, and creating great experiences for people is what makes it that way!”

Reviews
While Luke worked extremely hard to provide wonderful spots to explore. Chloe made one amazing meal after another. Luke offered great water toys, a day of tubing, bonfire on the beach for sunset and Snuba. This team was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous BVI vacation.
Chef Chloe created a lovely dining experience aboard our yacht. Her dishes and presentation are an expressions of creativity and passion that leave a lasting impression. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every dish. Last but certainly not least was her lemon cheesecake—that can only be described as heavenly. It was smooth, silky and light with a soft lemon flavor that will forever linger in my memory. The perfect ending to a flawless evening and meal. I really hated to leave. I'lI miss the scenery, the boat, but most of all our two new friends.
This was our first time on a charter like this and they were very good in handling us first timers.
