Your professional crew aboard catamaran ZINGARA

The crew of Zingara offer a polished and luxury experience for all their guests. They look forward to having you aboard and showcasing this beautiful part of the world to you and your family and friends.

CAPTAIN: Reece grew up on the farmlands outside Knysna, South Africa, where he gained strong mechanical and carpentry skills while spending his free time surfing, kitesurfing, and fishing along the coast. With extensive diving experience and in-depth knowledge of the BVI, he combines his adventurous spirit with a strong focus on safety, ensuring guests enjoy an unforgettable experience aboard Zingara.
Reece stepped aboard Zingara in the role of deckhand/dive instructor, and now moves up to the helm, bringing his extensive diving experience and knowledge of the BVI to the team. Reece is actively involved in marine conservation efforts, volunteering with Beyond The Reef (BTR) in the British Virgin Islands. He is certified to treat corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) and has contributed to cetacean research surveys and shark tagging projects. Reece looks forward to sharing his passion for the ocean with guests aboard.

STEWARDESS/DIVE INSTRUCTOR: Margret Church (SA) not only serves as stewardess aboard but she is also a qualified dive instructor, ready to join in your underwater adventures. Her involvement in marine conservation projects and initiatives in the BVI is a passion of hers, combined with a lifelong love for the ocean, she is now able to share her knowledge with guests who would like to learn more. She met Reece on the east coast of Africa, whilst they were both completing their PADI scuba instructor and freediving instructor courses. Since then, they have been traveling and exploring together and they cannot wait to show you the BVI’s secret spots.

CHEF: Henre Koekemoer

Chef Henry:
My name is Henre Koekemoer I am 24 years of age and from Bloemfontein, South Africa. I am a qualified chef with three years of professional experience, most of which I gained at a 5-star luxury lodge. I studied at Olive Chef School in Bloemfontein, where I graduated as one of the top students in my class. Before pursuing my culinary career, I studied law, but soon realized that my true passion lay in cooking and creating exceptional dining experiences.

I am very excited to take on the new challenge as sole chef on the beautiful Zingara. I specialise in crafting tailored menus that combine fine dining with fresh, seasonal ingredients to suit every guest’s preferences and dietary needs. I get along well with people from all walks of life, a strength that comes naturally from working in hospitality, and I pride myself on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere both in and out of the kitchen. Beyond cooking, I am an active and energetic person who enjoys playing a wide variety of sports, which fuels my creativity and drive. My goal is to ensure every charter is memorable, with cuisine that perfectly complements both the luxury and adventure of life at sea.

MATE/DECKHADN: Ryan Clark feels most at home with the ocean at his feet and salt in the air. Working at sea isn’t just a job, it’s who he is. Adventurous, easygoing, kind and friendly, Ryan has a natural way of putting people at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere whether guests are stepping aboard for the first time or strapping on a dive tank for an underwater adventure. As a PADI Staff Instructor, he guides divers of all levels with patience and a calm, laid-back approach that keeps safety front and center without ever taking the fun out of the experience. Beyond the boat, Ryan’s love for the ocean drives him to get involved in conservation projects. He is happiest sailing through the Caribbean with the sun on his back, the sea beneath him and another day of adventure ahead.

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

  • Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.

  • Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.

  • Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.
