"Turning Dreams of Paradise Into Lifetime Memories"

Caren and Otto, both from sunny Cape Town, South Africa, have followed a rather adventurous career to eventually settle here in the beautiful Caribbean.

 Otto started his sailing career on a traditional Gaff-rigged Schooner (pirate ship) as crew, loved the whole experience and decided to become a sailor. After completing his Yacht Master Ocean, he did several deliveries and corporate charters on both coasts of Africa. Otto would be the first to tell you that there are no better training grounds for sailing than the infamous east and west coasts of Africa, and the Cape of Storms.

 But, for the ever adventurous Otto, the sailing scope in Africa became too small and he decided to try some Trans Atlantic deliveries to the United States and Caribbean, where he very quickly racked up over 100 000 nautical miles having fun and doing what he loves.

Caren decided to give up her corporate job as a Human Resources manager and joined him in the adventure.

Once in the Caribbean they fell in love with the Islands and decided to try their hand at chartering. It did not take them long to realize that this would be the opportunity of a life time to satisfy their love of sailing and adventure. Based out of Antigua, they have chartered in the BVI, St. Maartin and further down-island. 

Since then, they have just completed 6 months of chartering in mystical Turkey, but have now  returned to the warmer and more beautiful waters of the Caribbean aboard Catnap, and are looking forward to sharing their future adventures with you here in the Virgin Islands.

 They have done 37 charters over the past 12 month season, both are experienced Dive Masters with over 700 dives between them and both are gourmet chefs.
