| Captain | Travis Pirzenthal | South African | 1989 | IYT 200 ton unlimited, STCW, Padi Dive Instructor | English, Afrikaans |
| Crew | Peta Daniel | South African | Master Chef Culinary Course, STCW |
With many years in the yachting industry, Travis has spent the last four captaining luxury charter catamarans throughout the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, where his guests know him for his calm leadership, good humor, and steady hand on the helm. A true problem-solver, he has a knack for fixing just about anything on board, ensuring smooth sailing and peace of mind for both guests and crew. As a qualified dive instructor, Travis brings an added dimension to charter experiences, guiding guests safely into the underwater world, and in his time ashore he owns and runs a dive school in South Africa, passing his passion for the ocean on to new divers. His love of the sea is matched by his love of sport and the outdoors, and his adventurous spirit shines through whether he’s navigating a tricky anchorage, leading a dive, or joining guests for a laugh and a story during a long sail. Warm, approachable, and endlessly capable, Travis creates an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, safe, and ready to enjoy every moment on the water.
Peta has been sailing and cooking in the Virgin Islands for over a year and a half, and she loves nothing more than sharing her passions with guests onboard. In the galley, she creates fresh, flavorful meals tailored to each group — from vibrant island dishes to comforting favorites — always with a little extra flair. When she’s not cooking, you’ll find her working alongside the captain as first mate: sailing, snorkeling, and making sure every detail of your trip runs smoothly. She’s known for her warm personality, love of good food, and ability to make everyone feel at home the moment they step aboard. Whether she’s whipping up a homemade dessert, teaching paddleboard basics, or dancing along to island tunes, Peta brings joy and care into everything she does.
