Caribbean Captain "Blackie" & Madeleine, Caribbean charter hosts.

Spend some time with "Blackie" and Madeleine on Duduza and you will soon ask yourself why you waited so long to treat yourself to this elegant and exciting vacation experience.

"Blackie" & Madeleine are South Africans who had enjoyed successful business careers before they heeded the call of the sea and set sail on their own yacht on a course that eventually took them to South America, the United States, and the Caribbean, a distance of over 16,000 miles. After spending a charter season in the Seychelle Isalnds, the beauty and charm of the British Virgin Islands has convinced them that this is the best possible location in which to offer guests a world class chartering experience.

"Blackie" has Bachelor of Arts degrees in three majors, is a retired Lieutenant in the South African armed forces, holds a Yachtmaster¹s license and is a PADI Divemaster. His expert seamanship skills and vast water sport knowledge will ensure that you will experience the best of what the BVI and Duduza have to offer in a safe and fun environment.

Madeleine is also a certified yacht skipper and PADI Rescue Diver who is equally at home assisting with all yacht handling duties and guest diving as well as working her culinary magic in the galley. She has honed her culinary skills through her extensive travels and has the ability to provide you with exotic dishes as well as those that will make you feel right at home.

Blessed with the love and stability of a 15 year marriage, you will find "Blackie" & Madeleine to be a friendly, experienced and mature couple who will make your charter experience a truly enjoyable and memorable one. If you love activity, they will keep you busy all day enjoying Duduza¹s many watersports amenities. If you want to sample the unique nightlife of the islands, they will visit those anchorages offering the BVI¹s unique form of ³nightclub². If your interest is in a romantic getaway, they will whisk you away to some of the secluded and picturesque coves in the area. The choice is yours, as they will customize the itinerary to make sure that your time on Duduza exceeds all of your expectations.
