Captain Pieter Möller

I grew up on the west coast of South Africa. I have had a love for the ocean from a young age. Spending weekends and holidays free diving for lobster and abalone. After completing high school, I started working in our family business that specialized in mechanical maintenance and steel fabrication. But after 16 years the call of the ocean finally became too strong. I decided to leave our family business and pursue my love for sailing and diving. My career as captain started back in Cape Town where I was captain on a 65ft classic schooner. Captaining in Cape town thought me a lot when it came to dealing with extreme conditions. Big seas and strong winds. But Cape Town wasn’t enough for me. So, I decided to set my sights on other more tropical destinations, and it brought me to the Caribbean where I got the opportunity to charter in the BVI, St Maarten, Antiqua, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia. I also sailed Zanzibar off the East Coast of Africa.

As captain I pride myself on having an immaculately maintained boat in order to provide the highest level of charter service to my guests. Safety is always my number one priority but at the same time ensure that my guests are having fun and creating memories for life. Way before my guests arrive onboard, I make sure I gather an understanding of what they expect from their time onboard. BVI being an amazing destination, has so much on offer from busy beach bars to secluded beaches and anchorages where not a single other boat is in sight. Amazing snorkeling and diving at famous sites like the Rhone or sailing up to Anegada where you can get some of the biggest freshest lobster I have seen in the Caribbean.
