Your Crew
*Robin & Sophie are the confirmed crew for the 2026/2027 season!*
Captain Robin and Chef Sophie
Together, Sophie and Robin have spent 5 seasons chartering throughout Croatia, Greece, Montenegro and Italy, before following the sunshine across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. They quickly fell in love with the British Virgin Islands, and this will be their third season on this side of the world.
They love creating the kind of charter they would want to experience themselves: great sailing, beautiful anchorages, fantastic food, plenty of laughter and an atmosphere that feels relaxed from the moment you step aboard. Whether you want to explore every corner of the islands, spend the afternoon snorkelling and paddleboarding, find the best beach bars, or simply switch off with a cocktail on deck, Sophie and Robin will create your perfect week around you.
More than anything, they can’t wait to welcome you aboard, share their love of life on board and show you exactly why they fell in love with the Caribbean.
Captain Robin Loedolff
Robin grew up on the oceans and rivers around Cape Town and developed an early respect for the sea. Growing up, he was always happiest on the water, taking friends out on boats and introducing them to watersports. After working in his family business he decided it was time to turn sailing into a career. In true Robin fashion, he sold his pickup truck to fund his qualifications and went on to complete his Yachtmaster Ocean, gaining experience in the challenging waters between Cape Town and Madagascar.
Delivery work eventually brought him to the Mediterranean, where he discovered the wonderful world of chartering starting in the Med and now with over 2 seasons in the BVIs. With a strong technical background alongside his sailing experience, Robin brings a calm, practical approach and takes great pride in keeping his guests and his yacht safe, well looked after, and having fun! The BVIs introduced him to his new creative outlet of making drinks and cocktails, and always looking for twists on the classics.
Chef Sophie Loedolff
Sophie has been sailing since childhood, growing up aboard a 42ft catamaran with her family and sailing halfway round the world from Greece to New Zealand before the age of 12. With much of her childhood spent exploring new countries and cultures, the galley quickly became one of her favorite places. She grew up creating meals from whatever fresh, local ingredients were available, taking inspiration from the flavors they discovered along the way, with a little (or alot!) improvisation thrown in!
Her love of food led her into hospitality, working in high-end pubs, restaurants and five-star hotels, where she developed a strong foundation in professional kitchens and guest service. After studying tourism at university, Sophie spent three years recruiting captains and chefs for the yachting industry before the ocean called her name. She began hosting charters in 2017 and hasn’t looked back.
Since then, Sophie has continued developing her cooking through classes in London, Cape Town and Portugal. Her style is fresh, colourful and made from scratch, with an emphasis on local produce and the flavours of the places she visits. She loves creating food that feels special without losing the relaxed, generous spirit of eating together on a boat.

Molly and Johnny were a pleasure to work with while planning our vacation, and even more enjoyable as we got to know them more throughout the week. We were blown away by Johnny's extensive knowledge of the islands, the boat, and the local culture. He was always there to answer our questions and spark our curiosity about our daily activities. Molly's cheerful personality came through in her cooking and personal interactions with all of us. It was great to have them involved in our excursions, and we left feeling that we had gained two new friends. Even though they had just met the week prior, they worked incredibly well together, and we couldn't recommend them more for any future charters.<br />

Milla & Molly - <br />
<br />
Thank you for an amazing week! I commented to Marci that what really mattered for this trip was the opportunity to spend time together as a family - particularly with my parents. An being in the BVI was just a nice setting for that, but your hospitality was off-the-charts, fitting in with our group as if you two were members of our family. From Milla's shopping with Marci to Molly sharing her cooking tips with us, you both fit in with our group perfectly and seamlessly. You both were a special part of this trip for us. Thank you again for a wonderful week, and we wish you the best for the rest of the season and in all your future endeavors. <br />
