  CAPTAIN ROBERT

  Robert’s journey began on a South African farm, teaching him early the value of innovation and self-sufficiency. This foundation led him through various roles across the Eastern Cape, eventually to a prominent career in the yacht industry starting in 2006. As the Chief Engineer aboard the 164ft M/Y Chantel Ma Vie, he quickly showed his prowess. A chance to work alongside his wife brought him to M/Y El Jefe, where he moved up to Captain in 2009. His leadership has since guided numerous successful charters through the Caribbean, Bahamas, and along the US East Coast.

  In 2022, Robert took the helm of M/Y Unbridled, promising unparalleled adventures. Known for his meticulous care and welcoming demeanor, he ensures a safe, enjoyable experience for all guests.
