Sol Mates Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/First Mate
Captain Wesley -
I was born and raised in Langebaan on the West Coast of South Africa, a tranquil holiday destination for families, sailors, surfers and fishermen due to its stunning Lagoon and long white beaches. I grew up with a lot of respect for the water but with it came a deep love for what it offers. At leisure, we spend every possible moment on the water. We are very fortunate to have one of the Top rated Sailing academies our doorstep and in 2018 I decided to get qualified in the sailing industry that would allow me to live my passion. Elite Charters introduced me to the hospitality and charter industry in sailing where after my duties as Skipper and Operations Manager at Langebaan Luxury House Boats grew the love to serve guests.
My duties and responsibilities made me a professional in all different tasks on board but along came a strong enthusiasm to ensure a great guest experience. I am very much people-orientated with safety and comfort as priorities. I´m confident that Leandro and I as a power couple with our skills and experiences will create the most memorable holidays to our future guests.
Chef Leandri -
I grew up in the Western Cape Province of South Africa in the eastern shore of Langebaan Lagoon, 120km from Cape Town. My brother and I were intrigued with water sports and boating activities from a very young age as our father taught us respect for water with confidence to be on it. I got my powerboat SAS Skippers license at the age of 16, which allowed me to spend a lot of leisure time on the water. My love for children led me on the adventure to Au-pair in Amsterdam for a year after high school and traveled Europe. Back in SA,I started as a waitress at Sun Valley Wedding Ranch and worked myself up to wedding coordinator and Head of catering. I gained extensive experience in many different fields, learning the best customer care and organization skills one needs in the hospitality industry. In 2018 I headed back to Langebaan and did my stewardship courses at Atlantic Yachting with the idea to join my highly qualified brother in the sailing industry. Covid sets that dream back, but this is when I met Westley. Together we are super excited to join our yachting and hospitality skills and experiences to create unforgettable memories for our guests.

Sol Mates Guest Reviews
Great week on Sol Mates with Capt. Westley and Chef Leandri
Just returned from a wonderful week on Sol Mates with Captain Westley and chef/mate Leandri. We sailed both the USVI and BVI. The location can’t be beat, the boat was great, and Westley and Leandri are fantastic people who made sure we were well taken care of. Leandri’s food was rich and filling - but if you’d prefer “light and healthy” she can do that too. (That just doesn’t happen to be our thing.) Just make sure you ask for her mushroom sauce! (It was so good we have poured it on everything.) It was truly a week where we worried and wanted for nothing. Thanks, iyacht Club for another fantastic vacation!!
Amazing & Relaxing week in the Virgin Islands
Our group of 3 couples had an amazing week in the Virgin Islands! Westley & Leandria were the best crew - anyone would be lucky to sail with them! The food was amazing- Leandria worked so well with two of our group having specialized diets. We never wanted for anything and had a great time enjoying the islands and always felt like we were in good hands with the crew! Our trip was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
We honestly couldn´t have asked for a better crew
Lieselot and Daša, we had an amazing week onboard Sol Mates with you! We honestly couldn´t have asked for a better crew (that can also boogie with us!) Thank you for making us feel at home for the week and keeping us safe. We hope our paths cross again!
Thank you!!
You both were the most wonderful captain cutie and chef beautiful. You made us forget reality and live in a fantastic fantasy, Thank you!!
The food and hospitality were above and beyond
Thanks so much for an awesome week. We had so much fun getting to know each of you. You both made the experience one that we will never forget. The food and hospitality were above and beyond. Cant wait to come back! Thanks again!
What an amazing week!
What an amazing week! Thank you so much for all of our amazing experiences. This was truly a bucketlist trip and would not have been as wonderful without both of you. I cant wait to follow along your adventures!
The best capt and chef around
The best capt and chef around - thank you for an absolutely magical week! We loved seeing your beautiful home and adventuring around with you and one heck of a group. Feeling very grateful for a wonderful week and even more wonderful friends. We´ll be back soon - even if its only to keep beating Xander in Catan.
