Captain: Paul Jordan
Paul's upbringing in South Africa, near Kruger National Park, instilled in him a deep appreciation for nature, fostering a passion for scuba diving that ultimately led him to depart from his office job and explore the world beneath the waves. With extensive experience as a dive instructor, boasting over 3000 dives, he has honed his skills in remarkable locations such as Thailand, the Maldives, Indonesia, and Mozambique. His journey brought him to the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where he was captivated by the beauty of the Caribbean. Following an invitation from a friend, he embarked on sailing trip, viewing it as the next chapter in his adventure. Returning to South Africa to obtain his RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification, he later returned to the BVI to assist a friend who had suffered losses from Hurricane Irma. Since attaining his captain's license, Paul has navigated the waters of Belize, Antigua, the Bahamas, BVI, and Thailand. Known
for his adept leadership and commitment to ensuring memorable experiences, he approaches each day with meticulous planning. During his leisure time, Paul indulges in free diving, surfing, and exploring new destinations.
Dani was born and raised in a small coastal town in the South of Brazil. Her family's heritage is a rich blend of cultures, with her great-grandparents immigrating from Europe to escape the war. The culinary traditions she learned from both sides of her family, rooted in Spain, Portugal and Italy, still influence her cooking today. After graduating in Business Administration in Brazil, Dani spent a year in Australia to develop her English skills and pursue further studies in her field. Upon returning to Brazil to commence her professional career, her time abroad had instilled in her a desire for a more fulfilling path than the confines of an office job. Following an invitation from Paul, she ventured to Belize where they began working together. Discovering a passion for cooking and feeling at home in the kitchen, Dani's culinary skills blossomed. Seeking to refine her abilities, she recently attended Ashburton Cookery School. Dani delights in infusing her Brazilian heritage into her dishes while incorporating elements of Caribbean cuisine, utilizing local and fresh ingredients to elevate flavors and aromas. In her leisure time, she indulges in playing padel, reading, hiking, snorkeling, and practicing yoga.
Paul and Dani first crossed paths in Thailand back in 2012. Their connection endured over the years, and in 2018, Paul visited Dani in Brazil invited her to join him. Since then, they have worked in various locations, including Belize, Antigua, the Bahamas,
Thailand, and the BVI. As a team, they love being able to entertain, share stories and meet new people to learn theirs.
Growing up in South Africa near the ocean, Danika was always drawn to the allure of the sea. But it was her upbringing in the service industry that taught her the value of creating exceptional experiences for others.
Her journey took a turn when she landed a job on a yacht in Europe attending the Super yacht cup. She was swept up in the adventure and excitement of life at sea. As she honed her skills on yachts, Danika discovered a passion for adventure and a love for the freedom that came with life on the water.
She decided to move to the BVI and try out a completely different experience, this is what truly captured her heart. The island life, with its vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty, stole her soul. Danika began to appreciate the joy of connecting with others and creating unforgettable experiences for her guests.
Now, as Danika continues on her journey, she is dedicated to merging her love for adventure, service, and the ocean. She aims to inspire a sense of wonder and awe in all those around her.

Reviews
Love Robbie and Sofie. They went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. They were very flexible and listened to our requests and suggestions of things we’d like to do and we’re very accommodating in the itinerary. Sofie’s cooking was outstanding. They both took time to get to know our family and it showed with how well we were taken care of every day. Overall it felt very personalized and very special. An exceptionally memorable vacation. Well done!
Aboard 2 Nov 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia
Robbie and Sofie were the most incredible hosts. As a all ladies group we were a little over the top and Robbie did a great job hanging. They both did a wonderful job balancing professionalism, safety, gourmet cuisine, and fun. There were handfuls of moments where they both went above and beyond to make the trip special. Noticing our silly needs even before we knew we had them. Sofie knew when to play the perfect song, add disco lights, and could remember who liked what with their food. They are the BEST first mate and captian we have ever had. Please tell them we genuinely loved every moment and appreciate them endlessly!
Aboard Jun 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sophia were absolutely AMAZING!!! they truly went above and beyond with their services. They were so much FUN and were always keeping us organized. coming back from snorkeling and finding our towels folded, and then keeping our snorkel and dive gear all organized was such a surprise. We love them both dearly, and hope to sail again with them very soon!!!! Was truly our BEST VACATION EVER!!!! Not sure if any other captain and first mate could match their services.
Aboard May 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sofia went above our expectations! He helped in every way possible. If we asked for it or he just heard us talking, Robbie made sure our wishes came true. Excellent service by both. Hats off to Robbie and Sofia.
Aboard 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia
Any superlatives that one can use for the work of Sophia and Robbie are inadequate. They are simply wonderful people that do an amazing job. The sailing was excellent, the food was superb and the interaction with Sophia and Robbie was great. I cannot imagine how they could possibly have done better.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Sofia and Robbie was very professional and attentive to our family. Sophia accommodated the dietary requirements of our youngest daughter with the skills of a five star chef. Robbie commanded the yacht with ease and confidence. His choice of moorings and anchorages were all beautiful locations to enjoy the sunsets and sunrises. The music play list provided by the crew were the best I have experienced
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sophie went above and beyond on this vacation. Sophie really catered to all our dietary needs. Robbie took us to several places and told us stories about each place. Every night they asked how we enjoyed the day and if there was anything that we wanted to do the next day.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sofie were an excellent crew. Robbie kept everything interesting, played great music, and was very engaging and fun. Sofie was also very engaging, made excellent meals, and was exceptionally accommodating for some of our special dietary needs. They were both highly professional yet still super friendly, I would gladly sail with them again.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
The service on this trip was phenomenal! Mind you we have never had bad service with Tradewinds but Robbie and Sofie went above and beyond to make sure we had a great vacation. Their customer service was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about them. They made sure we had everything we needed at all times so we could relax and enjoy our time in the BVIs. Scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, sunbathing, hiking, geocaching. We did it all!
Aboard Mar 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Captain Robby and first mate, Sophia, were perfect hosts. Their competence and attention to keeping tidy quarters were superb. They each had their own special culinary skills -- Robby was a supreme grill master and Sophie excelled at presentation and taste.
Aboard Mar 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
This was my first (and probably only) catamaran experience, and I was so honored to spend it with Robbie and Sofia on that awesome 60-ft!! They were most attentive and went out of their ways to make sure we had everything we needed and catered, when necessary. I had a bruised ankle and fell and injured that same ankle toward the beginning of the trip. They still catered to my inability to take more dingy trips. They were there to give me more than adequate support (my, they both are so STRONG). The food was awesome, and we expressed our desire (with everyone on our boat) that we'd pay for a recipe book for all that we ate. Sofie prepared it with the love and expertise desired by TradeWinds, and Robbie was a perfect 1st Mate in the kitchen. He was a perfect Captain, while Sofie was the perfect 1st Mate otherwise. They are well-trained and completely socially compatible with each other and all of us. If my husband and I were more water sports enthusiasts and younger, we might have enjoyed it even more.
Aboard 9 Feb 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
The crew: Robbie and Sophie were one of the most dedicated and professional crews we ever had. It is very important to point out that, although crews are, in general, of great excellence, this one exceeded all our expectations. Robbie is a very professional sailor and diving instructor. Sophie a superb chef. Both constitute a very good team. Last but not least, both are very, very, very good people.
