DAVID HOLLINGER AND LISA MAILANGER
A born explorer, David spent his youth fishing, kayaking on the Austrian Lakes and hiking in the mountains of Austria. Growing up he enjoyed all types of sports and activities, from not only sailing and dinghy sailing specifically, but also Billiards and Chess. David's other passion is music and his family are musicians including piano, guitar and percussion.
David started sailing at the age of 14 and has been a sailing instructor for the past 17 years. Initially he sailed on the lakes of Austria, and later in 2009 started to adventure across the globe skippering now over 40,000 miles. His clients comment on his relaxed skippering style with good humour and adaptable skills to any situation on board.
When David isn't on board, he is usually completing his next tour on land. Recent trips include Inter-railing through Europe, exploring the Whiskey distilleries of Ireland and Scotland and following the track of Napoleon through France and its beautiful wine regions.
Lisa is also from Austria and this is where she first stepped on a sailboat at 6 years old. From then on-wards she spent most of her free time on sailing boats. Lisa's other passion was tourism and following her studies in the tourism academy, she became highly competent in customer relations and hospitality in Salzburg. In the kitchen she learned from chef Mr Stockl who gained his experience in various well-known Austrian restaurants such as Stanglwirt in Kitzbuhel. She has attended wine and cheese training with Mrs Witzko, an Austrian vintner, active on the Fancy Food Show in New York, and has worked as a chef at the Austrian Mountain Hut. Since arriving in the Grenadines, Lisa has spent her time cooking with Vincentian chefs in her free time to again expand her knowledge and skills in the kitchen.
Lisa enjoys being in the galley but she also never forgets why she is on board and that is to create an unforgettable time for her guests. Besides cooking, Lisa finds a balance with Yoga, hiking, tour guiding and sailing. Lisa is also regularly travelling, with recent visits to Stockholm, La Reunion, Honduras and Milan. Her meals are healthy with fresh ingredients and underlined by her all around the world experiences.
Before moving to the Grenadines in 2019, as a captain and crew together, Lisa and David have sailed over 10,000 miles, including races, deliveries and holiday crewed charters and they are now enjoying fulfilling their common dream to create unique holiday trips and experiences for their guests.

The best possible recommendation!
Thank you. We stayed on board totally four days with Lisa in the Grenadines.
She was our hostess, made all meals and served us drinks before we even knew we wanted.
Lisa contributed a lot in order to make our trip around the Grenadines an memorable one!
She is very friendly and made the trip to an excellent journey. She has a natural way showing hospitality which made our holiday fantastic. The food she prepared was also excellent and she knew very well how to cook tasteful food for us.
She has not asked for a recommendation, but we all are so satisfied that we wanted to do it anyway– we would like to give her our crew the best possible recommendation!
(Review from previous catamaran - Lagoon 45 - Grenadines)
A huge thank you
A huge thank you for creating such tasty, delicious meals for us last week .
A highlight of the day for the girls was the forthcoming meal!
We really enjoyed the balance and variations of your menus with fresh herbs, healthy juices etc which is not easy with restricted shopping. We really liked the fact that where possible you used foods that were local to the country also. Fresh and fewer air miles !
We were so pleased you and David also joined us for meals with your lovely smile, humour and chat .
Fondest wishes

Review of our sorely missed Captain David!
From my family’s first meeting with our captain, it was evident to me that his professionalism, skill and the manner with which he effortlessly, yet adeptly and even humorously ensured the expanded knowledge and seamless working in sync as a crew and as the family we are were enhanced by David‘s care and sincere concern and enjoyment of being pet of the family during one of many exciting games of UNO!
David is one of those rarest of treasures to experience whom endears and elicits such complete trust that he holds those in his care above his own well being and it’s known simply by being in his presence for a short time and without a word said it’s obvious the man‘s sincerity and generous humanity flash like a neon sign above his head yet his humble and selfless nature belies that flashiness with showing so clearly the natural humanity and care of this man for his job and for his great responsibility. Not for one moment did I fail to remember David to be a good and kind gentleman and when necessary, a diplomatic but decisive and respectful leadership that we all respected and worked to ensure the safety of those in this world I love most. David made sure of their safety and therefore I was endlessly thankful yet also knowledgeably at ease.
I thank you and I not only enjoyed and leaned from a consummate professional seaman but I feel I’ve also made a friend and will return regularly due to his care while in his custody. He protected my children as his own I’m certain he’d feel too but such extravagant character traits are admirable and made our trip so much more relaxed and fulfilling. I would recommend his services as captain without reservation.
(Review sent to broker from previous catamaran - Lagoon 45 - Grenadines)
The best service we have ever received
I am writing this email to give my absolutely highest recommendation to Captain David and Cook Lisa. We had the pleasure of sailing with them on S/V Lagoon in the Grenadines March 7 – 14, 2020. Our last charter was on a crewed Oyster 56, and we felt this most recent trip with David and Lisa was the best service we have ever received.
Captain David was extremely knowledgeable, handling technical issues that would have turned us into port while we were under sail, allowing us to continue our vacation without any hiccups. He also offered nightly knot tying courses much to the delight of my husband and children! We had been the Grenadines previously and David showed us several new spots we hadn’t been to that really completed the vacation.
Cook Lisa handled the wide variety of dietary needs and requests expertly. We sailed with one friend who is dairy-free and two children ages 5 and 7. Many of our meals required several different options and all of us raved about everything we ate. Lisa also kept the boat incredibly tidy, as a mom of two, I felt like I was truly on vacation.
Thank you

Owner's Trip and Friends
Thank you!
Could there have been a more perfect Sail?
We have had a terrific time with our own accomplished captain David and our creative chef Lisa! hospitality was the word of each day and we sailed, sang, snorkelled and enjoyed conversation. When can we do it again?!
Thank you for providing us with such a great boat and an exceptional crew! The bar has been raised for our next sail!

DAVID HOLLINGER AND LISA MAILANGER
A born explorer, David spent his youth fishing, kayaking on the Austrian Lakes and hiking in the mountains of Austria. Growing up he enjoyed all types of sports and activities, from not only sailing and dinghy sailing specifically, but also Billiards and Chess. David's other passion is music and his family are musicians including piano, guitar and percussion.
David started sailing at the age of 14 and has been a sailing instructor for the past 17 years. Initially he sailed on the lakes of Austria, and later in 2009 started to adventure across the globe skippering now over 40,000 miles. His clients comment on his relaxed skippering style with good humour and adaptable skills to any situation on board.
When David isn't on board, he is usually completing his next tour on land. Recent trips include Inter-railing through Europe, exploring the Whiskey distilleries of Ireland and Scotland and following the track of Napoleon through France and its beautiful wine regions.
Lisa is also from Austria and this is where she first stepped on a sailboat at 6 years old. From then on-wards she spent most of her free time on sailing boats. Lisa's other passion was tourism and following her studies in the tourism academy, she became highly competent in customer relations and hospitality in Salzburg. In the kitchen she learned from chef Mr Stockl who gained his experience in various well-known Austrian restaurants such as Stanglwirt in Kitzbuhel. She has attended wine and cheese training with Mrs Witzko, an Austrian vintner, active on the Fancy Food Show in New York, and has worked as a chef at the Austrian Mountain Hut. Since arriving in the Grenadines, Lisa has spent her time cooking with Vincentian chefs in her free time to again expand her knowledge and skills in the kitchen.
Lisa enjoys being in the galley but she also never forgets why she is on board and that is to create an unforgettable time for her guests. Besides cooking, Lisa finds a balance with Yoga, hiking, tour guiding and sailing. Lisa is also regularly travelling, with recent visits to Stockholm, La Reunion, Honduras and Milan. Her meals are healthy with fresh ingredients and underlined by her all around the world experiences.
Before moving to the Grenadines in 2019, as a captain and crew together, Lisa and David have sailed over 10,000 miles, including races, deliveries and holiday crewed charters and they are now enjoying fulfilling their common dream to create unique holiday trips and experiences for their guests.

Guest Reviews
The best possible recommendation!
Thank you. We stayed on board totally four days with Lisa in the Grenadines.
She was our hostess, made all meals and served us drinks before we even knew we wanted.
Lisa contributed a lot in order to make our trip around the Grenadines an memorable one!
She is very friendly and made the trip to an excellent journey. She has a natural way showing hospitality which made our holiday fantastic. The food she prepared was also excellent and she knew very well how to cook tasteful food for us.
She has not asked for a recommendation, but we all are so satisfied that we wanted to do it anyway– we would like to give her our crew the best possible recommendation!

A huge thank you
A huge thank you for creating such tasty, delicious meals for us last week .
A highlight of the day for the girls was the forthcoming meal!
We really enjoyed the balance and variations of your menus with fresh herbs, healthy juices etc which is not easy with restricted shopping. We really liked the fact that where possible you used foods that were local to the country also. Fresh and fewer air miles !
We were so pleased you and David also joined us for meals with your lovely smile, humour and chat .
Fondest wishes

Review of our sorely missed Captain David!
From my family’s first meeting with our captain, it was evident to me that his professionalism, skill and the manner with which he effortlessly, yet adeptly and even humorously ensured the expanded knowledge and seamless working in sync as a crew and as the family we are were enhanced by David‘s care and sincere concern and enjoyment of being pet of the family during one of many exciting games of UNO!
David is one of those rarest of treasures to experience whom endears and elicits such complete trust that he holds those in his care above his own well being and it’s known simply by being in his presence for a short time and without a word said it’s obvious the man‘s sincerity and generous humanity flash like a neon sign above his head yet his humble and selfless nature belies that flashiness with showing so clearly the natural humanity and care of this man for his job and for his great responsibility. Not for one moment did I fail to remember David to be a good and kind gentleman and when necessary, a diplomatic but decisive and respectful leadership that we all respected and worked to ensure the safety of those in this world I love most. David made sure of their safety and therefore I was endlessly thankful yet also knowledgeably at ease.
I thank you and I not only enjoyed and leaned from a consummate professional seaman but I feel I’ve also made a friend and will return regularly due to his care while in his custody. He protected my children as his own I’m certain he’d feel too but such extravagant character traits are admirable and made our trip so much more relaxed and fulfilling. I would recommend his services as captain without reservation.

The best service we have ever received
I am writing this email to give my absolutely highest recommendation to Captain David and Cook Lisa. We had the pleasure of sailing with them on S/V Lagoon in the Grenadines March 7 – 14, 2020. Our last charter was on a crewed Oyster 56, and we felt this most recent trip with David and Lisa was the best service we have ever received.
Captain David was extremely knowledgeable, handling technical issues that would have turned us into port while we were under sail, allowing us to continue our vacation without any hiccups. He also offered nightly knot tying courses much to the delight of my husband and children! We had been the Grenadines previously and David showed us several new spots we hadn’t been to that really completed the vacation.
Cook Lisa handled the wide variety of dietary needs and requests expertly. We sailed with one friend who is dairy-free and two children ages 5 and 7. Many of our meals required several different options and all of us raved about everything we ate. Lisa also kept the boat incredibly tidy, as a mom of two, I felt like I was truly on vacation.
Thank you

Thank you!
Could there have been a more perfect Sail?
We have had a terrific time with our own accomplished captain David and our creative chef Lisa! hospitality was the word of each day and we sailed, sang, snorkelled and enjoyed conversation. When can we do it again?!
Thank you for providing us with such a great boat and an exceptional crew! The bar has been raised for our next sail!
