Captain
Bart de ZWART
Nation: Netherlands
Languages: English, German
CHEF
Dagmar de ZWART
Nation: German
CAPTAIN: Bart de ZWART
Bart has been on the water his entire life. Raised in the Netherlands by parents who ran a sailing school and charter business, sailing was second nature from a young age. Since then, he has captained a wide variety of boats—handling deliveries, private cruises, and charter trips across the globe.
A true waterman, Bart has spent decades exploring the world by sea. After studying tourism in Holland, he set out on his own adventures—sailing 3 to 6 months a year across the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Atlantic, and Caribbean. He later combined his passion for wind and water by co-owning windsurf centers in Greece, Venezuela, and eventually Maui with his wife.
From 2005 to 2008, Bart spent three years sailing around the world with his wife and daughter, gaining extensive offshore experience and a deep appreciation for life at sea.
Bart is also known internationally as “Mr. Endurance” in the world of stand-up paddling. He has completed and led numerous SUP expeditions around the world. He’s a four-time winner of the prestigious 11-City Tour and, in 2018, won the SUP division of the Yukon 1000—the longest paddle race on Earth, covering 1,000 miles through the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness.
A licensed captain and big-wave rider, Bart is experienced in everything from long ocean crossings to surfing, windsurfing, wing foiling, and SUP racing. Calm, capable, and endlessly adventurous, he brings a deep love of the ocean and years of hands-on expertise to every charter.
CHEF: Dagmar de ZWART
Dagmar started her career as a graphic designer in Germany, but her love for the ocean soon led her in a new direction. She learned to sail in 1990 and, not long after, she and her husband began running windsurfing centers in Greece, Venezuela, and Hawaii.
From 2005 to 2008, Dagmar sailed around the world with her husband and daughter—a life-changing adventure that deepened her connection to the sea. In 2009, the family settled in Maui, where they launched a windsurf school and rental center.
Dagmar has always loved cooking and began taking advanced classes in 2019 to take her skills to the next level. Since 2020, she and her husband have been working full-time aboard a 57-foot catamaran in French Polynesia, where Dagmar serves as the Chef.
She’s known for her warm hospitality, creative cooking, and calm, can-do attitude—always making guests feel welcome and well taken care of.
STEW - MATE : Maya REYNOLDS
Born and raised on Maui, Hawaii, Maya brings a calm, uplifting energy and a passion for wellness to the crew.
She is a licensed esthetician and massage therapist with a deep love for yoga, the ocean, and travel.
When she’s not working, you’ll find her surfing, diving, or hiking—always staying active and connected to nature. Her warm spirit, positive attitude, and radiant smile make her a guest favorite and a joy to have on board.
Maya is highly motivated, discreet, and attentive, offering a thoughtful presence that enhances each guest’s experience.

___________________________
“I have visited and stayed in beautiful accommodations across the world over many years of travels and I consider my time with the crew in French Polynesia as easily in my top three favorite all time vacations. I jokingly coined the term "Post-Travel-Depression" (PTD) to express the sadness of a wonderful trip ending. After this trip I experienced the longest PTD yet. Dagmar and Bart had an incredible way of making me feel at home, as part of the family while also spoiling us with deliciously nourishing food. It was a beautiful balance of the comfort of being home while experiencing the benefits of a perfect vacation (fun, adventure, amazing foods and drinks, constantly surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery). When deciding to go on this trip, I admittedly was hesitant to spend my 30th birthday on a boat with strangers when I don't touch adrenaline sports like kitesurfing and wing. But I couldn't have imagined a better birthday and the days surrounding it. I have no doubt embarking on this journey with this crew will also give you some PTD, but it will be worth it!”
____________________________
“Our experience with Dagmar and Bart on their boat was simply extraordinary. Starting with the marvelous food (dinner dishes worth Michelin star), going through their eagerness for letting us having a perfect stay all the time, and ending with the incredible expertise of Bart in kiting and watersports.
We are counting the days for repeating the experience with them!”
_____________________________
“The Zen Quest exceeded my expectations. Bart and Dagmar are lovely, easy-going hosts who serve up daily smiles, adventures and incredible meals. The boat itself is a 10; perfectly maintained, spacious, and intimate at the same time. Don’t hesitate to spend a holiday on the Zen Quest!”
______________________________
“Our experience aboard the Zen Quest with Bart and Dagmar was phenomenal! Truly one of the best trips we have ever taken together! Captain Bart is calm and capable, ensuring each guest’s safety. He knew just where to take us each day to find the best conditions for the next adventure! Each and every meal was a culinary masterpiece - expertly prepared and presented by Dagmar. They are a perfect team, joyfully doing the work to maximize the guest experience! Best in French Polynesia! Can’t wait to do it again!”
______________________________
“I have had the pleasure of being on the Zen Quest two times with Bart and Dagmar as hosts. The experience has always been wonderful. The quality of the food and service is impressive.
The boat is kept clean and very well maintained. They do a great job of planning the itinerary to see beautiful parts of the countries they visit. Including seeing the sea life and local culture. For many of us guests the draw is the access to the remote, beautiful areas of the world to play on the water. The wide variety of gear stocked on the boat makes this easy. To top it off Dagmar and Bart are very professional, interesting and just fun to be with! I would highly recommend the Zen Quest.”

“We had the incredible opportunity to sail with Bart and Dagmar through the breathtaking Tuamotus Archipelago for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the most special trips of our lives. Bart and Dagmar are exceptional hosts (warm, welcoming, and passionate for what they do). The food on board was absolutely outstanding, and every moment was filled with fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon!”

What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.

Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.
