Captain: Wesley
Captain Wesley -
I was born and raised in Langebaan on the West Coast of South Africa, a tranquil holiday destination for families, sailors, surfers and fishermen due to its stunning Lagoon and long white beaches. I grew up with a lot of respect for the water but with it came a deep love for what it offers. At leisure, we spend every possible moment on the water. We are very fortunate to have one of the Top rated Sailing academies our doorstep and in 2018 I decided to get qualified in the sailing industry that would allow me to live my passion. Elite Charters introduced me to the hospitality and charter industry in sailing where after my duties as Skipper and Operations Manager at Langebaan Luxury House Boats grew the love to serve guests.
My duties and responsibilities made me a professional in all different tasks on board but along came a strong enthusiasm to ensure a great guest experience. I am very much people-orientated with safety and comfort as priorities. I'm confident that Leandro and I as a power couple with our skills and experiences will create the most memorable holidays to our future guests.
Chef Leandri -
I grew up in the Western Cape Province of South Africa in the eastern shore of Langebaan Lagoon, 120km from Cape Town. My brother and I were intrigued with water sports and boating activities from a very young age as our father taught us respect for water with confidence to be on it. I got my powerboat SAS Skippers license at the age of 16, which allowed me to spend a lot of leisure time on the water. My love for children led me on the adventure to Au-pair in Amsterdam for a year after high school and traveled Europe. Back in SA,I started as a waitress at Sun Valley Wedding Ranch and worked myself up to wedding coordinator and Head of catering. I gained extensive experience in many different fields, learning the best customer care and organization skills one needs in the hospitality industry. In 2018 I headed back to Langebaan and did my stewardship courses at Atlantic Yachting with the idea to join my highly qualified brother in the sailing industry. Covid sets that dream back, but this is when I met Westley. Together we are super excited to join our yachting and hospitality skills and experiences to create unforgettable memories for our guests.
