Charl grew up in Pretoria, South Africa where he rode his pet elephant named Amarula to school each day. He dominated every sport known to man and pursued a career in Humanitarian Logistics. Charls passion for logistics somehow “delivered” him in the yachting industry where he worked his way through the ranks aboard M.Y. Queen Miri and developed into an exceptional first mate! Charl is fun and full of life. He has a passion for economics, underwater darts and is currently training for an Ultra Marathon. If morning gym sessions, beach runs or summer cocktails are your thing, he will make it happen!
2 truths and a lie:
•He is petrified of lightning
•He is an avid American Football fan
•Elon Musk’s family lives on Charl’s parent’s street
Charl is very approachable and will be delighted to be right by your side through all the activities we have prepared for you during your trip!

James was born on the coast of Durban, South Africa, to a surfing family, so one could say he has saltwater in his blood. James started a career in psychology however, there is nothing better for the mind than the ocean and she was calling! So he decided to follow his passion which was away from an office and closer to nature! James joined yachting a couple of years ago and tried his luck on a few yachts before landing his first proper job on a yacht onboard Curfew. Fun Fact! James took a gap year to become a Game Ranger, he spent his first adult year protecting Rhinos, Elephants and guiding tours through the South African National Parks. James is very fond of Surfing, Fishing, Skating, Freediving and Climbing, but don't let his Mowgli fool you, he is also our resident DJ and has an affinity for 80s hits.

Margarita is a Miami Native outdoorswoman extraordinaire! She spent her youth in Key Biscayne and pursued an Art degree from Florida International University. Margarita's passion for the last few years has been the “Blackfoot Gypsy” a 1967 Cheoy Lee sailboat which she's painstakingly restored whilst living on it with her husband Jeff. With that project complete, she's now embarking onto the next big project called the “Blackfoot Raven',' a 42 foot trawler on which she currently lives! Margarita has been in yachting for 5 years, working her way from Deckhand to Engineer on yachts like Benettis and Mangustas. Don't let her size deceive you, when she is not engulfed in a complex boat repair, working on her art or tackling the biggest wall at her local climbing gym, she's out in the Everglades hunting wild boar and wrestling with giant pythons! Margarita is also a very accomplished spearfisher and I have seen her take down many prized size fish!
