Captain: Reinhard Buys

Captain - Reinhard Buys

Captain Reinhard grew up in a small fishing town called Gansbaai, in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Growing up around the ocean pushed him into finding a career that was suited to what he loved. He began as a seafarer within the cruise line industry working for the infamous company ‘Disney Cruise Line’ on their private island in the Bahamas, working as a Lifeguard and Water-sports Leader. This is where he met Ruby. They had the same passion for the ocean and felt they needed to spread their wings and in April 2019 we began their yachting career together. He never looked back, yachting is everything to him and each day reminds him how far you can grow within this industry. From a young age, he learned how to spearfish/fish and freedive and those two hobbies are his passion. Having the ability to combine his work and passion, well you couldn’t ask for anything better. Ruby and he have worked/lived together for the past 5 years, seeing some incredible places from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and experiencing some truly amazing things. Whilst taking pride in his position as Captain, he also loves to cook, so you will definitely be enjoying some delicious grilled meat on the grill. He is excited to be running this brand new Fontaine Pajot 67 in the Exumas, taking guests to the secluded, tropical islands and creating memories to last a life time.
