Crew Profile

Captain Andre

Hey there! So, picture this – the past 25 years have been an absolute blast in Langebaan, South Africa, aka the Jewel of the West Coast. We've been soaking up life, surrounded by these incredible azure waters that practically scream "adventure playground." Sailing, boating, fishing – you name it, we've done it. And our kids? Well, they've practically grown up with a love for the sea and a knack for sailing.

Now, amidst all those laid-back sailing sessions, a wild idea popped up – why not throw some part-time charters for holidaymakers? And guess what? We've decided to shake things up and trade in our regular gigs for the adventure we've always dreamt of.

So, here we are – qualified, pumped, and ready to dive headfirst into the full-time charter scene. Our game plan? Make sure every owner and guest doesn't just have an adventure but leaves with a grin and a bunch of kick-ass memories. Oh, and with my love for snapping pics, I'm on a mission to capture those special moments for everyone to take home.

And hey, just so you know, we're not exactly newbies at this – we've got a lifetime of boating under our belts, a solid 9 years of sailing like pros, and a cool 3 years of charter experience. Ready for the ride? Because we sure are! 🚤⚓📸



Chef Magda

Hello there! I'm a positive, energetic, and sophisticated wife, wearing the proud badge of a mom to two awesome kids. My passion? Well, it's all about wowing people with delightful South African cuisine, served up in a joyful atmosphere that's simply infectious.

Nature? Oh, that's my sanctuary – my happy place where I find peace and can't help but marvel at the wonders of creation. Now, picture this: our family has been soaking up the good vibes in Langebaan on the West Coast of the Western Cape. It's been our haven, especially with top-notch watersport facilities that allowed us to nurture our kids' love for sailing. Guess what? They're both sailors now, charter captain and chef actually, and it's high time for us to jump on board by swapping our old careers for new full-time adventures and take advantage of the 9 years of sailing experience and 3 years of charter experience we have.

We're on the brink of an exciting journey in the industry, and our goal is crystal clear – to craft charters that leave our future guests beaming with satisfaction. Get ready for a ride with a dash of sophistication and a whole lot of positive energy! 🌟⛵🍲

Charter Yacht Pura Vida Guest Reviews

Totally Awesome!!!!!

On February 23 my two brothers and their wives and myself took off on a trip of a lifetime! Our Captain Andre and his wife/ chef Magda were amazing. They took great care to make sure we had a trip to remember FOREVER. We had such a great time and the sites were unbelievable. The food was beyond what I ever could have imagined. The crew made us feel welcome from the first moment we met them until we had to say our sad goodbyes. They really went above and beyond to make sure that we saw as much of the BVI as possible. I would highly recommend sailing with Andre and Magda if you plane to see the BVI in the future. Thanks again for everything you did for us to make this a memorable vacation!!!!!! Don Myers Date of experience: February 2024

Sailing St. Vincent and the Grenadines with iYachtClub with their amazing crew Isaac and Bri.

What an incredible charter. We’ve done this before but can say this has been THE BEST charter / holiday to date. Isaac and Bri were AMAZING! They looked after us so well, went over and beyond what we would have expected in terms of food, cocktails (😉), attentive service and making this holiday simply unforgettable. Felt we arrived as guests and left as friends. Thanks so much guys. Two lovely people living their dream! Thanks also to iYachtClub for your fantastic boat and service!

Grenadines at Pura Vida 48’ Cat

We had the one of the most enjoyable weeks of our lives! Capt. Isaac and Briana led us throughout the beautiful islands of The Grenadines. We had great adventures while fishing, freediving and exploring islands such as Mustique, Petit Saint Vincent, Tobago Keys, Bequia and Canouan. The food was also so special, with several highlights such as fresh mahi ceviche and sashimi! And the boat was perfect: VERY new, impeccable, fully functional. Our family of 5 would recommend this trip without blinking!!

Catamaran Island Hopping Vacation

Dream vacation. Island hopping and cruising to hidden gems in st barths, st marten and Anguilla. Every day included gourmet prepared meals and snacks on boat, while activities included snorkeling, cliff jumping, boat jumping, hiking, paddle boarding, etc. Accomodations were very comfortable and Captain Isaac and Briana were amazing people and total professionals. Best of all was how great they were with our kids
