Captain
Rob Bentley
Born in South Africa and growing up on the East coast of Kwa Zulu Natal, Rob has been a “water boy” his whole life. He is an accomplished sailor with over 30,000 sea miles under his belt on a range of vessels.
Worthy of mention was the family sailing adventure where Rob, Belinda and their 2 children embarked on a 4-year world cruise on their catamaran, Shayile. They cruised the East Coast of Africa, Indian Ocean, SE Asia, Indonesia, and Australia.
Rob has a passion for the ocean and loves water sports. He is a qualified surf life saver, pilot, advanced diver, and avid fisherman. He has a particular passion for salt water flyfishing. He loves to go out and hopefully return with something delicious to toss on the BBQ. Mountaineering is Rob's other passion, and he has hours of adventures on mountains spanning the globe. His epic adventure to Mt. Everest is worth listening to over a cocktail sundowner!
When Rob is not out skippering and entertaining, you will see him working in the galley with Belinda. Cocktails and the BBQ are part of Rob’s regime, and he knows the perfect stories to tell while you enjoy them!
Chef
Belinda Bentley
Born and raised on the East Coast of South Africa, Belinda has spent her life close to the sea, camping, swimming, scuba diving and fishing as well as hiking and climbing the inland Drakensberg mountains.
She is a ‘people’s person’ and in addition to her culinary training, is also trained as a professional nurse, specializing in maternity.
Belinda is a generous and passionate cook who has been influenced by travel and time spent in many different countries. She is particularly fond of Asian cuisine, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, but also enjoys spicy Mexican, Indian and Mediterranean influences.
She loves to cook fish and seafood and pair it with local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. She enjoys bright and bold flavours, especially citrus notes which do well to compliment the Caribbean climate. Delicious cool and creamy desserts round off dinner and ensure full and satisfied guests!
Waking up to fresh morning coffee and watching the sun set with drinks and appetizers are the absolute essence of life aboard and she can’t wait to welcome you!

You treated us like royalty!
Rob and Belinda
Well that was one amazing week !!! Loved every second and your energy + attention to detail made everything so spectacular. The wonderful food, every water toy under the sun, learning about this beautiful place, and the very enjoyable sailing time made this trip just the best. Thank you for your kindness and making us feel like royalty. Every table for meals was set so beautifully with the most unbelievable meals – Top Chef award to you Miss B! You simply outdid yourself. And Bartender Rob your drinks were delicious and always at the ready. You tendered us here, there and everywhere with such ease and it was all so appreciated. Life on the Mystic is top notch and wonderful, unforgettable memories were made this week! Loved the Snorkeling, the many beach bars and most of all being with friends and family with non-stop conversation, laughs and good times! You two are the best and we are so grateful to have had the chance to meet and sail with you! Can’t wait to come again 😊

A lifetime of memories!
Dear Rob and Belinda,
You are the only person, B, who makes cooking for 8 people every night look so easy!!! You both are so servant hearted in all that you do in making everyone feel welcome and known. We will be making t-shirts containing all the great lines that came out of our laughter and experiences this week. The kids loved everything you provided for them in this adventure like rock climbing, e-foil, sailing, snorkeling, and jumping off of things. Every single one of us will go home with a lifetime of memories. Thank you for making the world feel small, known and beautiful. Your stories of all the places you have been were an inspiration to all of us. Thank you also for adding the accents as well. It made for an “international feel” Ha! We have nominated you all for the coveted “brown towel award” which goes to the people are always thinking of others and seeking to help in all things. May God continue to bless you and your family for the way in which you love other so well.

A dream vacation!
Rob & B,
We could start by naming every awesome aspect of this trip; boat, views, food, excursions, but the two parts that really made this a dream vacation is the hospitality provided by you both. I thank you for making my 60th birthday unforgettable. We appreciate all you did for us on this trip. We have amazing memories, lots of pictures of beautiful locations and delicious food. We will recommend this experience to all of our friends! And hope to sail with you both again!
Much Thanks and Love,
Stacey, Greg, Bethany & Kayla Emerline
