BAREND “BOB” NABAL | CAPTAIN | South African
Bob has Cruised: The Australian Great Barrier Reef, the Solomon Islands,
Papua New Guinea; the Mediterranean (East to West),
the Caribbean and Bahamas.
Bob is originally from South Africa, and has a great passion for the sea.
He grew up in a surfing and fishing town, always trying to squeeze in a paddle whenever possible.
Bob has cruised extensively in the Mediterranean and Caribbean before joining the 35m Moonen BELUGA in Italy, sailing it to Australia for the Owner in Summer 2015 through the Maldives, Indonesia and finally reaching Port Douglas in Queensland. He then spent 3 years exploring the Great Barrier Reef, leading successful experiences for Australian and international charter guests, including high-end marlin fishing and special expeditions around the Pacific.
Bob’s previous yachts include 93ft Benetti ZEHAVA, 92ft Sunseeker BALTAZAR (presented at the MYBA Genoa Yacht Show 2013-2015), and most recently the 109’1ft M/Y ROBBIE BOBBY (2019).
With his wealth of experience and knowledge on board, Bob is a fun, youthful and active Captain whose humour is contagious! You will be sure to have a memorable experience from cruising on board AKIKO.
Bob is also a very keen spearfisherman, and looks forward to sharing his passions with guests.
