  CAPTAIN ROBERT

  Robert’s journey began on a South African farm, teaching him early the value of innovation and self-sufficiency.

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.
