MEET YOUR CREW
Season 2022/2023 Captain Bertie and Chef Teresa Chapman
Captain Barend (Bertie) Chapman originally from Cape Town South Africa, graduated from university as an Engineering and worked for De Beers in the Synthetic Diamond Division for some thirty years.
He has sailed, snorkeled and deep sea fished along the south and southeastern coast of Africa from Mozambique, Sodwana Bay, St Lucia, the coast of Natal South Africa, Port Alfred (Eastern Cape) and most of Western Cape. For the past six years he and his wife/First Mate Teresa have pursued their dream of owning their own yacht and becoming full time sailors. Their circumnavigation started in December 2014 when they took part in the Governor's Cup Yacht Race from Cape Town to St Helena. They cruised Brazil's coastline for six months, French Guyana's river waterways and coastline for five months. Thereafter they sailed on to Grenada and Caribbean. They fell in love with the Virgin Islands and decided to stay, they are now in their fifth charter season in the Virgin Islands.
First Mate Teresa Chapman, a customer service professional from Cape Town, South Africa, has shared Bertie's dream and can not wait to welcome you onboard Aquanimity. Teresa has the warmest heart and in no time you will feel at home and know that you will be taken great care of on your adventure. She loves to entertain and to prepare meals to each and every person's satisfaction. Her motto is to make you feel special, relaxed and to share the beauty that the BVI and USVI Islands have to offer.
Aquanimity is family friendly and LOVES to have babies aboard!
Reviews
The two of you made the memories even better. The stories! The meals! I'm seriously overweight now :)
Lots of love and
THeresa, the food was absolutely delicious. Now I will have to go back and be disappointed in my meals. Bertie, thank you for your diligence and knowledge of boating. I am grateful that I could beat you all at Mexican Train . Over all a trip of a lifetime. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I also appreciate your help with Scott moving arouns the islands and boat.
This trip was many years in the making and will was well worth the wait. Just exceptional!
Thank you Bertie and Theresa for a magical vacation!
We'll take some of that with us when we think of the islands, and carry back plenty of Theresa's cooking expertise to our own kitchens. And nobody can dodge wake like Bertie!
Cheers 'til next time!
Bertie, you are a fantastic captain. We lobed all the beautiful places you took us to! Theresa, you are a 5 star chef! Really appreciate all your hard work. All the meals and snacks were outstanding.
Hope we have an opportunity to sail with you again one day.
"There was a couple name Theresa and Bertie
Always making water because we were all dirty.
The food was so good
And so was the mood.
For they both throw a really great party!"
Thank you both.
You two are a wonderful team. We so enjoyed your company! Captain Bertie, thanks for the steadfast efforts throughout and Teresa, oh my! From your increible meals to beautiful presentations…not to mention the Birthday celebrations!
Thank you everything!
What a fabulous relaxing trip! Captain, you are top notch and Teresa, you are beautiful inside and out! We will surely refer you to others! Until we meet again!
We look forward to our trip with you to South Africa!
Teresa and Bertie know hospitality. There are none better. From the expert captain, the 'penalty' shots, the chef extraordinaire, the incredible islands, and spending our 50th wedding anniversary onboard. Could not have asked for anything more.
We loved the knowledge of the Virgin Islands shared by Bertie, and his willingness to share his opinions on virtually any topic.
We don't want any other Captain and Chef. Thank y'all for the unforgettable experience - of a lifetime!
Enjoyed the whole week.
Great crew.
Will do again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for showing us a great time and being the best crew/tour guides! We had so much fun and it's definitely one for the books. I'll never forget Teresa's cooking. Bertie, you are a lucky man :)
The snorkeling was some of the best we have ever experienced. We are so grateful for all of it
Seriously THANK YOU!
I pray that you both continue to have safe travels - with company that keeps you smiling. Memories of a lifetime. Please let's stay in touch.
We also enjoyed the game nights. It was a privilege to spend the week in your company.
