Captain WOUTER HANEKOM
Hailing from South Africa, Wouter Hanekom, affectionately known as “Wouts,” has spent his life navigating the shimmering waters of the world. Born with a passion for aquatic adventures, he cultivated his love for the sea during idyllic weekends spent on family retreats, where watersports became an integral part of his upbringing.
Wouter’s journey into the world of sailing began with these cherished family outings. His knack for mastering the waves and imparting his skills to others soon led him to a career in sailing. He embarked on his maritime odyssey by navigating the pristine waters of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, working for a renowned flotilla company.
In his pursuit of the perfect wind and waves, Wouter became a sailing instructor. Over the years, he had the privilege of teaching and kindling the same fervour for sailing in others that had ignited his own. His dedication to fostering a love for the sport reached its zenith as he honed his expertise and shared his wisdom.
Not one to be tethered to a single horizon, Wouter’s recent exploits have seen him undertake remarkable journeys. From the southern tip of Cape Town, he set sail on a remarkable voyage that stretched all the way to the enchanting shores of Grenada. He delivered several yachts across the Caribbean along the way, proving his mettle as a seasoned seafarer.
When he’s not navigating the open waters, Wouter finds solace in chartering yachts in the serene havens of The Bahamas and the British Virgin Islands. His extensive experience isn’t just anecdotal; he holds the prestigious RYA Yachtmaster Offshore ticket and is a fully Certified ASA instructor, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to excellence in sailing.
Captain Wouter Hanekom, with his wealth of knowledge and his infectious passion for the sea, welcomes every opportunity to share his expertise and love of sailing with those fortunate enough to sail under his command. Onboard Wouts inspires a shared sense of adventure, making every voyage an unforgettable experience.

These institutions only refined her culinary skills and intensified her passion for concocting dishes that marry flavours and textures, often with a delightful Mediterranean twist.
