MEET THE CREW:
CAPTAIN: JD Veldsman
CHEF/FIRT MATE: Nicole Du Plessis

JD grew up on the west coast of South Africa, and was immersed in a life filled with fishing, kite surfing, diving, and all kinds of water sports. This upbringing fostered a deep passion and understanding of the ocean, leading him to become a professional kite surfing instructor,
His career journey then took me into the world of hospitality operations, where he spent 10 years perfecting skills in hospitality operations and management and more recently into the yachting industry, initially as a deck/stew and now as an RYA certified yacht captain.
When JD is not captaining a boat, you´ll find him out on trails hiking, camping under the stars, or taking on a new DIY project. With a fun-loving spirit and a zest for life, JD is always ready for the next exciting experience, bringing enthusiasm and positivity to everything he does.
JD will be entering his third season in the Virgin Islands.

Born and raised among the vineyards and mountains of South Africa’s Winelands, Nicole brings a sunny spirit to any environment she is in. She has a strong background in hospitality, with experience from bartending and waitering to managing a restaurant on the West Coast of South Africa prior to her time in the Virgin Islands. Her passion for travel and culture has taken her abroad, living and working as an Au pair in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, caring for children of different ages. Her patient, up-beat nature helps her make guests of all ages feel welcome and comfortable. Outside of work, she loves all things summer, especially stand-up paddle-boarding, swimming and enjoying the sunshine. Nicole strives to create a warm, easy-going atmosphere on board, bringing good service and positive energy to make your holiday truly unforgettable.

JD and Nicole love working together as a team, easily anticipating each other’s needs, and sharing a desire to take the best possible care of guests to ensure their vacation exceeds all expectations.

Reach Guest Reviews

Great Team

JD, you were right in step, anticipating every need or desire with great warmth and a ready smile and we are amazed at how easily you complimented your crew, just pitching in effortlessly.



Nicole was nothing short of incredible. She made amazing drinks and was always so attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. She also added thoughtful touches along the way that made the trip feel really special. We joked that she was reading our minds as days went on and she anticipated our needs- she’s just that good.

You make a great team. May God bless you and may his face shine upon you all the days of your lives

New Wonderful Friends

JD, what can I say...you look after every need and beyond with graciousness, professionalism, and always a smile!
Lindy would still like to adopt you as a younger brother.


And Nicole, with grace in every way,
Brought warmth and joy to every day,
Her cocktails crafted with effortless flair,
Always appearing just when needed there.



We feel we have made new wonderful new friends.

Teared Up Saying Goodbye

We would love to hopefully do this again (maybe somewhere different) and I think the crew made it so worth it!
I teared up saying farewell and our daughter cried at the airport not wanting it to end.



JD was always helpful in every way and added the extras and was always there to make sure we were comfortable or needed anything at all

Even though Nicole was in her first season, it didn’t show. She would get us things before we had to ask, a true skill, and very hard worker.

We Could NEVER Forget You

We honestly can´t thank you both enough for the incredible trip we have had because of you both. The food was amazing, the views were spectacular, but most importantly the company was top notch. You both are like family to us now and y´all will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We wish we could stay on the boat with you guys forever. You both are exactly where you are meant to be. Keep shining bright and making positive impact in people´s lives. Please don´t ever forget us - I know we could NEVER forget you.
