Meet Captain Gabriel, affectionately known as Riel! Growing up along the breathtaking south coast of South Africa, Riel’s passion for the ocean ignited early on. From diving and spearfishing in his youth to competing as a professional surfer, he’s always been captivated by the thrill of the sea.
With over seven years of experience in the yachting industry, Riel is now living the dream as the captain of a stunning 48-foot sailing catamaran cruising the idyllic Exuma Islands. But what sets Riel apart is his unique ability to create unforgettable experiences. He expertly blends high standards with a laid-back, fun-loving vibe, ensuring every guest feels right at home. Riel knows these waters like the back of his hand, leading guests to hidden coves and secret reefs where the diving is simply spectacular!
When he’s not navigating the beautiful waters, you’ll find Riel hosting epic beach BBQs (or ´braais,´ as he affectionately calls them) for guests or organizing friendly beach volleyball games that spark a little competitive spirit.
In April 2022, Riel met his adventurous partner, Paige, and the two instantly clicked! Together, they embrace every opportunity for excitement - whether it’s climbing, enjoying a sunset surf, or sailing - making every journey not just enjoyable but truly unforgettable. With Captain Riel at the helm, prepare for a sailing adventure filled with laughter, breathtaking moments, and cherished memories! Ready to set sail? The adventure of a lifetime awaits!

Dolce Vita Guest Reviews
Magical Bahama Experience - From TripAdvisor Review
Absolutely incredible experience! Five stars all the way!
From the moment we booked the trip with our agent Nick everything was smooth sailing. Nick guidance on trip selection and the crew´s preparation tips made all the difference. Captain Gabriel and Chef Paige were amazing hosts, and we felt welcomed right away. The itinerary was perfect, and we were exploring hidden coves and snorkeling in crystal-clear water within hours of arriving.
Waking up surrounded by those stunning islands and enjoying Chef Page´s delicious breakfasts was a dream come true. We loved every minute of exploring, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having fun – they truly made the trip unforgettable.
Thanks again for everything, Nick Paige and Gabriel! We can´t wait to book our next adventurew.
Bahamas with the BEST CREW - 15 out of 10!!!
Y´all, these folks are the WAY TO GO! When we started looking with very short notice, the gentleman we spoke with worked non-stop to get us with the closest set-up to what we needed. We originally were trying to get on a power-catamaran, but there were none available in our requested price range in the Bahamas. But Jeremy Snider worked through an evening and most of a day to match us with a sail catamaran that would get the job done, and we are so thankful he did!
We were set up with the most incredible Captain and Chef - Louis and Tersia. I´ve never met such kind and accommodating people from the moment they sent a welcome letter through the entire trip. They were in constant contact asking any of our preferences and special requests and doing everything in their power to make it all happen. And her meals - 15 OUT OF 10! Above and beyond what we were expecting...from the taste to the presentation, every bite we took was delicious! She even made us a Thanksgiving dinner- AND they helped us set a projector up for the Thanksgiving football games! Ps- I´ve never had turkey so moist and perfectly cooked. Ever.
Capitan Louis kept us informed and asked our opinions on the itinerary, taking any of our must-do-excursions in mind. We encountered great weather, so we´ve been lucky there, but I´m sure there was a large part that the captain took into consideration to keep us comfortable and safe.
Long-winded story short, do everything you can to make it happen with this crew. They make you feel like royalty while being a part of the family with you. I´ll never forget this trip!
First Exumas Charter
The crew was wonderful. Captain Martin was really good with the boys. The chef was excellent and very kind to my kids. We were very happy with everything. We had a great time and the service was wonderful. The islands are further apart, so you spend a lot more time moving. The winds were low for most of our trip, which meant little sailing and also made it hot as hell.
