TESTIMONIALS

What can we say other than this really did exceed all expectations!

Captain Dylan, Ric and Rox were absolutely wonderful! It was the crew who truly made this experience special for all of us. They were so attentive, knowledgable, personable, fun and so incredibly talented at what they do. The food, the sailing, the drinks...We can't ever imagine going on another charter without them. We are just so incredibly grateful it was those 3 lovely people who shared in this experience wit.

Odyssea Crew -

When I think of how to describe this trip, the best word that comes to mind is … Incredible! Having a stomach that doesn’t have ‘its’ “sea legs”, I was quite concerned about coming. HOWEVER, there was never a moment when I didn’t feel that my happiness and comfort was their priority. This trip and CREW completely outdid our expectations! Being a 62 year old wife, mother, daughter…I can’t remember when I’v.

Dylan, Gi, & Mario

We would like to wish you all a heartfelt gratitude for such a special week on the Odyssea. Gi constantly out does herself with each and every meal. Dylan is always able to navigate to the most unique & exceptional anchor locations. He was also “kind” enough to introduce us to the game of liar’s dice. All of us were very impressed with the addition of Mario. We appreciated his sweet disposition and top notch gin & tonics. Until next.

10 - 17 Feb 24

When I received the text from Eloise on Dec 9 “BVI for my birthday. First week of February. Ya’ll in?” Well of course I texted back, “I’m totally in.” Planning began and excitement grew not knowing what to expect for this week in BVI.

You have done a great job of hosting us this past week in paradise. This was our fourth charter and it was by far the best. One in our group had a birthday and you two made it so special. We had an issue with two of our group getting sick and you cared for them very well until they recovered. A bit scary, but recovery was quick. We saw some new places and got into many quiet anchorages. Your sound advice made for a very safe and pleasant week. Gi completely spoiled us .

Broker Feedback to the Captain-

Sorry for the delayed reply in getting feedback from the B’s who left ODYSSEA on the 3rd… But, I was finally able to chat with them over the phone last night, so I am relaying this…

They had an excellent time with you and Gi on board. They were very impressed with your knowledge and experience. They knew you had their best interest at heart all the time and you are super caring!
Butch loved hanging out wit.

Dear Dylan & Gi,

This is our first “cruise” vacation as a family, and honestly could not have a better crew. Everything from safety, the food, the magically made up beds, and the most amazing friendly voices. You two are perfect example(s) of how to be courteous and calm around all kinds of personalities in a family. We could simply not have asked for a better experience. Please come see us in Park City, Utah! Or even connect or take/get in touch if you visit the W.

Dylan & Gi,
Thank you for a wonderful week of adventure. If we could Gi home with us to cook for us we would. All our meals were wonderful, breakfast, lunch & dinner! Dylan was a great captain & cool as a cucumber when the dingy stopped running and we had to row back to the boat. He was a great participant in the What Do You Meme game! Dylan was very flexible with our itinerary and had great suggestions. We tried to get them to let us stay on as part of the crew but unfortunat.

Dylan & Gi (smiley)
Thank you for an ALL-AMAZING trip. It exceeded our expectations. We appreciated your professionalism and easy going personalities. The two year wait from our original plan was worth it and we will be back soon. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals and cocktails. There were new stories everyday that we can add to our memories. And we have two new friends. Fair winds & following seas.

We had an amazing time! The boat was very well appointed and perfectly
accommodated our group. Dylan and Isabella were incredible. They were
knowledgeable, interesting, professional and just fun to be around. Bella is an
amazing chef and all of her food was delicious. We were all baffled by how she
cooked such gourmet meals in such a small space. Dylan did an excellent job
leading our dives and providing a fun and safe environment for all.

"We just returned from an amazing week long private charter in the BVIs on the Slivochka with Dylan as our captain and Isabella as our first mate/chef. It was one of my favorite vacations ever and first ever chartered yacht experience. Captain Dylan worked with us in the planning stages to find out exactly what our interests were and charted the perfect itinerary for our week. He found the most awesome places to show us the amazing beauty of the BVIs. He gave us options throughout the trip and .

Dominique Charter: 28th April - 6th May 2018

We are three reasonably well traveled couples who just finished a most extraordinary and delightful vacation, sailing with Slivochka through the British Virgin Islands. This week long cruise on the yacht Slivochka far exceeded our expectations making it one of our best vacations ever. The three most important factors in chartering a full-service yacht are the crew, the boat, and the itinerary. Beginning with the crew, they were outstanding. Prior to our arrival they had telephoned to discuss ou.

Keri's food was world class delicious, Keri-you seemed to anticipate our every need even before we knew it ourselves. Such as offering hot chocolate after coming back, a bit chilly, after snorkeling. And bringing up blankets at night to the group on the sky bridge because we may become chilly. Dylan-you kept us safe in the w.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our large family. Dylan the children loved you. Spending our evenings sharing dinners together and just relaxing watching the fish or looking at the stars was exactly what we had hoped.

Dylan and Keri, We had planned to do this unusual vacation for 5-7 years and we selected the best crew and catamaran, our children loved you guys.

CAPTAIN RICK
After more than a decade working as a mechanical draughtsman in the mining industry, I made the decision to trade the office for the ocean and pursue a more adventurous lifestyle. Yachting, for me, is not simply a career change but a lifestyle shift. One that allows me to combine my technical background, lifelong connection to the sea, and passion for travel to create memorable experiences on the water.

I’ve been drawn to the ocean from a young age. Based in Mossel Bay, much of my free time revolves around wind and water. When the wind is up, my wife and I can be found kitesurfing; on calmer days, we’re spearfishing or scuba diving with friends. As a certified Divemaster, I enjoy sharing knowledge of anchorages and marine life, discovering new dive sites, and helping others build confidence when kitesurfing and diving.

As a Captain, my approach is calm, organised, and guest-focused. I prioritise safety, clear communication, and strong teamwork, with the goal of delivering smooth, seamless charters where guests can fully relax and enjoy their time onboard.

CHEF ROXANNE
I’m a South African born creative with a strong hospitality background, now bringing that same energy and passion into the world of yachting. As a certified PADI Divemaster, I have a deep connection to the ocean and a genuine love for exploration, adventure, and learning new skills. 

Food is at the heart of what I do and I love creating menus. My style flows naturally through the day, from nourishing breakfasts and beach-style lunches to elegant dinners and special celebrations. I enjoy working with fresh, local ingredients whenever possible and pride myself on being flexible, intuitive, and attentive to guest preferences and dietary requirements.

Outside the galley, I’m highly active on the water. My husband introduced me to kitesurfing, which has quickly become my favorite sport. When the wind isn’t blowing, we spend our time freediving and scuba diving, making the most of life at sea.
