<b>About André and Fifi</b>
André and Fifi are a young couple with a great sense of adventure and love for exploring the world. They have been together for +7 years and recently got married in Portugal (summer 2024). They work great as a team and have a very positive and happy attitude towards life. Now heading to a second season in the BVI, they have also operated luxury charters in Sint Maarten and Croatia.

<b>About Captain André </b>
Captain André started sailing optimists when he was 7 years old in the Atlantic Ocean. Coming from a family of sailors, the passion for sailing is in his blood. After a couple of years racing, at age 16, he started to instruct young sailors and coach them for racing regattas.
Eventually he started to teach adults and getting his licenses for open water deliveries, thus becoming one of the youngest ocean captains in Portugal.

During this journey, he also kept working on another passion of his: Photography and Cinematography. So it didn’t take long until he joined these two skills and set a goal to be part of the Ocean Race (former known as Volvo Ocean Race). He started his own production company and shot and filmed onboard a lot of performance racing yachts including VO65 and Imocas. He also worked for the biggest sailing YouTube channel in the world: Sailing La Vagabonde. With 4 Atlantic Ocean crossings completed, he has a goal of crossing solo the Atlantic Ocean on a 21 ft. boat racing the mini transat.

André holds the Portuguese ocean skipper license, IYT/MCA 200t and STCW. He has a true passion for the ocean and everything related to it. And together with Chef Fifi, they provide one of a kind charters filled of good times.

<b>About Chef Fifi</b>
Chef Fifi grew up in Portugal, always near the water and sun. Her family had a small boat with which she would explore the beaches in the south of Portugal. She took her day skipper license while studying in college - bachelor degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and Masters degree in Data Science.
When André suggested doing charters together, she of course thought it was a perfect idea as she loves boats, cooking and hosting! So, once she finished her studies, she jumped right away on this adventure. She constantly seeks to perfect her cooking skills, including taking a course in one of the most renowned cooking schools in London- The Avenue Cookery School.

She has since sailed in the BVIs, Sint Maarten and Croatia, cooking local specialties from each place and always loving to host with a big smile on her face.

With much appreciation for a very special week for our family. The Harburg Family *We tallied up our books for the week - 30 books!!! Let see if any other guests can top that!!!
Christmas 2023 BVI
Dear Andre and Fifi, Thank you for an amazing and very special week! We loved spending Christmas with the two of you. You did such a great job of accommodating our special guests and needs. You're great every step of the way, from the pre-trip planning to our final night, everything was amazing. You listened and noted and incorporated all our preferences to make sure we had the best trip. Fifi - we loved everything you fed us! The crab cakes, the ribs, the starters and snacks and all the incredible desserts. We were so very, very spoiled and pampered. Our cabins were so nicely appointed and set-up. We were comfortable and every need anticipated and accommodated. Andre - Thank you for planning an incredible route. We loved each of the stops, each more beautiful than the last. I can't even pick a favourite. Thank you for the smooth dinghy rides and the fabulous swim platform. You made every request seem possible always a "No problem" attitude. The playlist made the trip special as well. several songs will forever make me think of this trip. And, the beautiful pictures that you took with the camera and drone captured special moments for us. Thank you, thank you for all of it. Beyond being amazing, perfect crew for us, thank you for being the special, talented , smart kind patie people you are. We have made new friends for life!! Your hard work and attention to every detail made our special family trip one we will never forget! Love Jane, Fred, Kennidy, Salvadore and Francesca.
