CAPTAIN

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 drive 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 van der Linde
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!

Magda, you absolutely spoiled me with the delicious and specialized meals for my very restrictive diet! You and Andre showed us some of the most beautiful beaches and waters we’ve ever seen in such fun ways— all the while with your sweet personalities waiting on us non-stop! We absolutely loved our time together and hope we get to come again soon.
Hugs from Texas! Kathy

We made the most wonderful memories on Z3 and each day was full of new adventures for us and the kids. Thank you for the impeccable hospitality, attentiveness to every detail and need, and wonderful food and drink! We also so appreciate you being fabulous photographers to help document every aspect of our trip. We will remember this forever!
Love from Curt, Michelle, Cooper & Jack

The trip of a lifetime! Sailing aboard Zuri 3 with Andre & Magda was a great adventure. We had so much fun exploring beautiful areas only accessible by sea. Andre & Magda met the needs of our 2 teenage boys (hard to do!) as well as ours (2 adults) perfectly. Thank you for the lovely meals, cocktails, and memories!

Will keep this short and simple as taxi is waiting – Simply a fantastic trip – best ever. Loved your spirit and kindness! You two are the BEST!

This was my first time on a boat and you both made the experience amazing, fun, and super special! You made me feel comfortable, the food was amazing, everything we got to do and see… I’m missing my 5:30 morning friend today!

We had a lovely time on Zuri 3 with Magda & Andre! Our family of four was well-fed and entertained. It was a trip of a lifetime and we are grateful to this amazing crew. Fishing, snorkeling, dance parties, delicious food & plenty of beverages! Thank you (danke!) for hosting us and being a part of our memories of a lifetime!”

Thank you both for the most wonderful trip. We all had such an amazing time and can't imagine having a better crew to do it with! Thank you Andre for getting us to see the most we could — and safely! Magda, thank you for the wonderful food + conversations!

Our crew was spectacular!! The meals were delicious and plentiful!! They knew just where to go and were extremely friendly an fun to be around. We had such a ball with them — singing, dancing, joking, playing card games at night, as well as visiting the islands. They make you feel like they're your friends, and not just a captain and chef. I can't say enough good things about Andre and Magda!! We would love to have them as our crew again in a future charter!

This was our first time visiting the British Virgin Islands... We had absolutely the best time island hopping while laughing and exploring Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, Anagada, Scrub Island, St. John, and finally St. Thomas. Our captain, Andre and his wife, Magda showed us the best time ever. They became part of our family.

The warmth and professionalism of our crew, combined with the undeniable beauty of the islands, have left us with lasting memories. We are eager to return for another voyage with Captain Andre and Chef Magda and strongly recommend them for your next adventure.

Andre went out of his way each and every day to make sure we understood our options for the day. His sole focus was that we felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. If we inquired about anything additional he would take all the time to explain and we did ask a million questions. He was fun and set the mood each and every day for what a vacation should be. Brandon really wanted to spear fish and he even hooked us up with his son and made it happen.
Magda was nothing short of excellence. She also made sure each day that we were having fun, that we felt like home and that we had everything we needed. Her cooking was amazing, I probably gained ten pounds from how delicious. Each dish was classic but with a touch of her creativity. Hummus and warm pitas but with anchovies on top, hard boiled eggs but with her delicious aoili, lobster grilled to perfection not with drawn butter but her special tartar sauce to name a few. She was such a delight to talk to and told us story after story. She scheduled some private romantic time for us but also engaged and encouraged us to party. She was the perfect balance of personal and professional.
Keeping up a yacht is such hard work. It was spotless when we arrived with Magda's homey touches in all the right places. We were made clear how to work the blue tooth, the AC and any safety features to aid in our comfort level. I loved the deck out front rather than a net and the leather bean bags that were supplied.

Magda & Andre,
Thank you both for THE most wonderful trip! We all had such an amazing time and can't imagine having a better crew to do it with! Thank you Andre for getting us to see the most we could - and safely! Magda, thank you for the wonderful food and conversations. We wish you the best for the remainder of the season and if we don't see you again down here in the Bahamas, we hope to see you up in Calgary!
February 2025
Andre and Magda were incredibly gracious and served up fabulous meals, and we had a lot of laughs together. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Since we were not familiar with the Bahamas, we didn’t initially appreciate the travel time from Nassau to the Exumas, but in retrospect, we might have explored using airports in the Exumas for a shorter charter. That said, it was a fantastic trip from start to finish!

Magda, you absolutely spoiled me with the delicious and specialized meals for my very restrictive diet! You and Andre showed us some of the most beautiful beaches and waters we’ve ever seen in such fun ways— all the while with your sweet personalities waiting on us non-stop! We absolutely loved our time together and hope we get to come again soon.
Hugs from Texas! Kathy

We made the most wonderful memories on Z3 and each day was full of new adventures for us and the kids. Thank you for the impeccable hospitality, attentiveness to every detail and need, and wonderful food and drink! We also so appreciate you being fabulous photographers to help document every aspect of our trip. We will remember this forever!

The trip of a lifetime! Sailing aboard Zuri 3 with Andre & Magda was a great adventure. We had so much fun exploring beautiful areas only accessible by sea. Andre & Magda met the needs of our 2 teenage boys (hard to do!) as well as ours (2 adults) perfectly. Thank you for the lovely meals, cocktails, and memories!

This was my first time on a boat and you both made the experience amazing, fun, and super special! You made me feel comfortable, the food was amazing, everything we got to do and see… I’m missing my 5:30 morning friend today!

We had a lovely time on Zuri 3 with Magda & Andre! Our family of four was well-fed and entertained. It was a trip of a lifetime and we are grateful to this amazing crew. Fishing, snorkeling, dance parties, delicious food & plenty of beverages! Thank you (danke!) for hosting us and being a part of our memories of a lifetime!”

Thank you both for the most wonderful trip. We all had such an amazing time and can't imagine having a better crew to do it with! Thank you Andre for getting us to see the most we could — and safely! Magda, thank you for the wonderful food + conversations!

Our crew was spectacular!! The meals were delicious and plentiful!! They knew just where to go and were extremely friendly an fun to be around. We had such a ball with them — singing, dancing, joking, playing card games at night, as well as visiting the islands. They make you feel like they're your friends, and not just a captain and chef. I can't say enough good things about Andre and Magda!! We would love to have them as our crew again in a future charter!

This was our first time visiting the British Virgin Islands... We had absolutely the best time island hopping while laughing and exploring Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, Anagada, Scrub Island, St. John, and finally St. Thomas. Our captain, Andre and his wife, Magda showed us the best time ever. They became part of our family.

The warmth and professionalism of our crew, combined with the undeniable beauty of the islands, have left us with lasting memories. We are eager to return for another voyage with Captain Andre and Chef Magda and strongly recommend them for your next adventure.

Andre went out of his way each and every day to make sure we understood our options for the day. His sole focus was that we felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. If we inquired about anything additional he would take all the time to explain and we did ask a million questions. He was fun and set the mood each and every day for what a vacation should be. Brandon really wanted to spear fish and he even hooked us up with his son and made it happen.
Magda was nothing short of excellence. She also made sure each day that we were having fun, that we felt like home and that we had everything we needed. Her cooking was amazing, I probably gained ten pounds from how delicious. Each dish was classic but with a touch of her creativity. Hummus and warm pitas but with anchovies on top, hard boiled eggs but with her delicious aoili, lobster grilled to perfection not with drawn butter but her special tartar sauce to name a few. She was such a delight to talk to and told us story after story. She scheduled some private romantic time for us but also engaged and encouraged us to party. She was the perfect balance of personal and professional.
Keeping up a yacht is such hard work. It was spotless when we arrived with Magda's homey touches in all the right places. We were made clear how to work the blue tooth, the AC and any safety features to aid in our comfort level. I loved the deck out front rather than a net and the leather bean bags that were supplied.

Magda & Andre,
Thank you both for THE most wonderful trip! We all had such an amazing time and can't imagine having a better crew to do it with! Thank you Andre for getting us to see the most we could - and safely! Magda, thank you for the wonderful food and conversations. We wish you the best for the remainder of the season and if we don't see you again down here in the Bahamas, we hope to see you up in Calgary!

Andre and Magda were incredibly gracious and served up fabulous meals, and we had a lot of laughs together. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Since we were not familiar with the Bahamas, we didn’t initially appreciate the travel time from Nassau to the Exumas, but in retrospect, we might have explored using airports in the Exumas for a shorter charter. That said, it was a fantastic trip from start to finish!
