Smooth Sailing with the Marees: Your Expert Yacht Crew and Gourmet Chefs

Ahoy there, fellow seafarers!

Allow us to introduce ourselves - we are Michael and Marica Maree, your trusty yacht crew and your hosts on the high seas. Not only are we seasoned sailors with over 25,000 nautical miles under our belts, but we also bring a unique set of skills to the table.

Michael may have grown up as a farmer, but he's always had a passion for all things mechanical and electronic. Growing up on a farm, he learned how to fix just about anything - a skill that's proved invaluable when out at sea. Plus, he's been around boats his whole life, with his family owning several fishing boats. So you can rest assured that he knows his way around a vessel.

As for Marica, she's always been a lover of adventure and the great outdoors. She's an expert in whipping up delicious meals and entertaining guests, making her the perfect person to have on board when you're in need of a good meal or a laugh.

Before we embarked on our yachting adventures, we owned a restaurant and coffee house where we honed our culinary skills and passion for entertaining. We loved catering for big gatherings and bringing people together over delicious food and drinks.

Our love for yachting began when we joined a friend on a race from Inhaca Island in Mozambique back to Richards Bay in South Africa. After that, we were hooked! We got our necessary qualifications and sea miles by crewing on deliveries, and the rest is history. We've been sailing in all oceans, from the Indian Ocean to the Caribbean to the East Coast of America.

With over 12 years of combined charter experience, we've seen it all - the good, the bad, and the wavy. But no matter what the conditions, we always prioritize your safety and comfort above all else. Whether you're looking for a leisurely sunset sail or an action-packed adventure, we got you covered. So hop aboard our luxurious CHI, sit back, relax, and get ready for an unforgettable voyage!

We can't wait to set sail with you!
