L'EQUIPAGGIO VEDI- CHIUDI

Roland Schaeffer

Comandante

Nato a: 1964
Nazione: South African
Lingue parlate: English

Vanessa Verster

Chef

Nato a: 1967
Nazione: South African

Your Captain and Chef Roland and Vanessa, both vibrant, energetic and charming hosts, with an unfailing sense of humor hail from Cape Town South Africa, where they met through mutual friends while still in their 20’s. Married in 2010, they are both well-travelled and have chartered together since about 2012.

Roland has been boating since a very young age, hanging around the Royal Cape Yacht Club and offering his services as a boat cleaner, (literally starting from the bottom up) and being invited onboard on race days as rail bait! While remaining a keen boater, he went on to working as a industrial technician before becoming an entrepreneur. Owning his own business afforded him the flexibility to keep sailing, and Roland assisted or captained on a variety of long-distance sailing yacht deliveries, accumulating in excess of 100 000Nm. It was during one of these yacht deliveries to the Caribbean, Roland discovered the world of charter yachts.

While in her 20’s, Vanessa embarked on a live-aboard dive vacation in the Red Sea. Her first live-aboard boating experience inspired her to abandon her life in the South African hospitality/culinary industry and set a course for new horizons. Vanessa was for many years in the restaurant industry, from South Africa, to Europe, to South and Central America to finally owning her own eatery in the prestigious London-Marylebone area. Vanessa’s mom was her first inspiration, teaching Vanessa to create dishes that please, and accommodating various dietary requirements.

Shortly after marrying, Roland and Vanessa combined their respective skill sets and moved from South Africa to Antigua to manage a live-aboard term charter sail boat. Between 2012-present, Roland and Vanessa have run charters from the Virgin Islands to Grenada, gaining an intimate knowledge of the leeward and windward islands on sailboats of different shapes and sizes.

Roland and Vanessa are both avid scuba diver/free diver, Roland also happens to be a PADI Instructor, Vanessa is a PADI Divemaster.

When not in the galley, Vanessa is swimming in the ocean or hiking on land, and she loves white water rafting. Roland’s love of sailing keeps him busy but he also enjoys kite surfing and heraldry.

Engineer Jacob hails from the coast of New Jersey in the northeastern United States. Surrounded by a family of sailors, divers, and fisherman, Jacob's love and appreciation for the ocean developed from an early age. In 2010 Jacob's family traded their life in New Jersey for the warm waters off the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Jacob was first introduced to the yachting industry in 2016 and Immediately he knew he belonged. He excelled for the next five years fulfilling the role of steward/deckhand aboard sailing yachts executing luxury term charters throughout the Caribbean. In 2021, Jacob began pursuing his ultimate dream of becoming a ship's engineer; in early 2023 he got his chance. After accepting a lead role on Abide’s extensive refit project, Jacob’s mechanical skills and knowledge were honed and put to the test during a twenty-month yard period. Over the past eight years Jacob has cemented himself as a well rounded and competent crew member. So whether you need your oil changed, your sails trimmed, or your cocktail mixed to perfection Jacob is truly a jack of all trades.

Seth Jansen Van Vuuren– Engineer & Crew Member - Born in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Seth has always had a passion for mechanics—whether it was aviation or restoring classic cars and motorcycles. But the journey into the world of sailing began when a high school friend introduced him to his first job on a yacht. That experience changed everything.

At 17, he moved to the coast of Port Elizabeth, where his love for the ocean grew. What started as a job quickly became a lifelong pursuit, leading him to the Caribbean, where he raced high-performance gunboats. It was there that he truly discovered his passion for large monohulls—their elegance, power, and the engineering behind them fascinated him.

Now, as an engineer and crew member, he brings both technical expertise and an unmatched enthusiasm for sailing. Whether maintaining the yacht at peak performance or ensuring guests have a seamless experience, he is always ready to share his love for the sea.

First Mate Keith Allen left the corporate world behind at 22 years old after some years working as a commercial ship broker and later, construction manager in Queensland, Australia. His travels took him to sailing the Caribbean on a 40ft sloop where he discovered an untapped passion for the ocean and that within it.

Since 2018 Keith has worked on a variety of vessels including modern superyachts, classic sailing yachts as well as smaller racing keelboats in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and eastern seaboard of the United States. Keith has also sailed as a charter captain on catamarans up to 62ft in Greece and the Virgin Islands and is eager to step into the role as first mate on S/Y Abide.
A passionate waterman, Keith is a well traveled and enthusiastic dive instructor, photographer and water sports aficionado who is keen to show you the beautiful waters of the Caribbean at whatever pace you desire.

Deckhand

Stewardess Coral was born in Nevis and raised on boats in the Caribbean, her love for sailing has been constant throughout her life. From a young age, she has explored the islands and sailed offshore, developing a deep connection to the sea and the yachting lifestyle. In 2020, she moved to England to further her education, earning GCSEs and A-levels in Travel and Tourism and Psychology. These studies, combined with extensive experience on the water, have equipped Coral with a unique blend of practical and academic knowledge. She is now eager to channel her passion, skills, and dedication into a fulfilling career in the yachting industry, and she is looking forward to contributing as part of your crew.

Domande & risposte

Come funziona il contratto di charter?

Il contratto viene stipulato direttamente tra l’Armatore e il Cliente, con il supporto del broker. Si basa normalmente sul modello contrattuale internazionale MYBA, concepito per garantire tutele chiare e bilanciate a entrambe le parti.

È inoltre prevista la figura dello Stakeholder, responsabile della custodia sicura dei fondi fino alla conclusione del charter.

Cosa è incluso nella tariffa del charter?

La tariffa base comprende il noleggio dell’imbarcazione, l’utilizzo delle dotazioni di bordo, la presenza dell’equipaggio e la relativa copertura assicurativa.
Restano escluse le spese operative come carburante, cambusa, porti, bevande e attività aggiuntive, che vengono gestite tramite APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

L’elenco preciso di ciò che è incluso o escluso sarà confermato al momento della selezione dello yacht.

Cos’è l’APA e come funziona?

L’APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) è un fondo anticipato, di norma pari al 25–35% del canone di charter, destinato alla copertura delle spese operative: carburante, provisioning, porti, attività a pagamento, bevande e richieste personalizzate degli ospiti.

Al termine della crociera, il Comandante fornisce un rendiconto dettagliato delle uscite. Eventuali importi non utilizzati vengono rimborsati al cliente, mentre eventuali eccedenze vengono regolate direttamente al momento della chiusura del charter.

Quali sono le modalità di pagamento?

Alla firma del contratto è previsto il versamento del 50% dell’importo totale.
Il saldo, comprensivo di APA, tasse e eventuali oneri aggiuntivi, viene richiesto circa cinque settimane prima dell’imbarco. (a seconda dell'armatore)
I pagamenti vengono effettuati tramite bonifico bancario, che rappresenta lo standard operativo nel settore del charter di lusso.

Posso annullare una prenotazione?

Sì, è possibile cancellare, ma si applicano le clausole previste dal contratto.
In linea generale, in caso di rinuncia da parte del cliente, l’Armatore trattiene i depositi già versati.

Qualora l’imbarcazione venga riaffittata per lo stesso periodo, l’Armatore rimborsa l’importo recuperato, al netto delle relative commissioni.

Ogni richiesta di cancellazione viene gestita con la massima trasparenza. Ulteriori dettagli sulle politiche applicate sono disponibili contattandoci direttamente.

Come individuare lo yacht più adatto alle mie esigenze?

La scelta dipende principalmente dal tipo di esperienza che desideri vivere:

Motor yacht per il massimo comfort, grande stabilità e trasferimenti rapidi.
Sailing yacht per un’esperienza autentica, silenziosa e legata alla tradizione della navigazione.
Catamarano per ampi spazi, stabilità superiore e maggiore privacy.

BeBlue analizza destinazione, numero di ospiti, preferenze personali e budget, selezionando per te la soluzione più adatta.

Quanto tempo prima è consigliabile prenotare?

Per l’alta stagione (Mediterraneo: giugno–settembre; Caraibi: dicembre–aprile) è consigliabile prenotare con diversi mesi di anticipo, così da assicurarsi le migliori opzioni disponibili.
Gestiamo comunque anche richieste last-minute, compatibilmente con disponibilità e requisiti di licenza.

È possibile personalizzare menu, preferenze e attività?

Certamente, prima della partenza riceverai un Preference Sheet in cui potrai indicare gusti, esigenze alimentari, allergie, preferenze per bevande e attività che desideri svolgere.
Lo Chef e il Comandante utilizzeranno queste informazioni per costruire un’esperienza completamente su misura.

Quante persone possono essere ospitate a bordo?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni può accogliere da 6 a 12 ospiti, a seconda della configurazione interna.
Alcuni superyacht oltre gli 80 metri, conformi alle certificazioni internazionali, possono ospitare fino a 36 persone.

Sarò connesso a Internet durante il charter?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni offre connessione Wi-Fi a bordo, tramite rete mobile o sistemi satellitari. La qualità e la velocità del servizio possono variare in base all’area di navigazione e alla tecnologia installata.

È previsto lasciare una mancia all’equipaggio?

La mancia non è obbligatoria, ma rappresenta una consuetudine consolidata per esprimere apprezzamento al lavoro della crew.
Le linee guida internazionali indicano come riferimento un importo pari al 10–15% del canone base.

Perché affidarsi a BeBlue?

accesso all’intera flotta globale
totale trasparenza sui costi
