Chef/First Mate
Welcome Aboard Zuri3 Together, André and Magda offer a charter experience that is professional yet personal, adventurous yet wonderfully relaxed Days are filled with turquoise water, hidden anchorages, fishing adventures, beautifully prepared meals and plenty of laughter — all shared with the warmth and hospitality that André and Magda bring from their South African home. Their greatest pleasure is seeing guests arrive aboard Zuri3 as strangers and leave with beautiful photographs, wonderful stories and memories that feel like they were made among friends Welcome aboard Zuri3 — come for the Exumas, stay for the adventure, and leave with memories to last a lifetime. For André and Magda, welcoming guests aboard
is about much more than sailing through beautiful islands. It is about sharing their love of the ocean, good food, laughter and adventure — and creating memories their guests will treasure long after they step ashore. Originally from Langebaan on South Africa’s spectacular West Coast , André and Magda decided to exchange their regular careers for the adventure they had always dreamed about: a life at sea. Their charter journey first took them to the
British Virgin Islands
before bringing them to
The Bahamas
, where the breathtaking Exuma Cays have become their playground . Now entering their fourth charter season , they bring together experience, genuine South African hospitality and a wonderfully relaxed approach to island life. Chartering has truly become a family affair, with both of their children also working in the charter industry
