Crew Information
Captain: Gino Barale
MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Gino Barale
CHEF/FIRST MATE: Nikita Du Preez
Gino grew up in the bush, travelling across Southern Africa with his parents. Any chance they got they were out camping in remote locations, which is where his great sense of adventure came about. Gino was introduced to sailing through his father, which is where he began to compete in multiple races, working his way up from crew to skippering his own boat.
After 3 years of racing keelboats, Gino found himself in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean enroute to Rio De Janeiro competing in the Cape 2 Rio Ocean race. This ended up being a 3-month journey, sailing from island to island in Brazil once they got there before starting the passage back home to Cape Town, South Africa.
Nikita found her love for cooking at a young age in the kitchen with her dad where he taught her all the tips and tricks to cooking a delicious meal. With time, this slowly ended up becoming weekly competitions in the house in who created the better dish.
Nikita decided from the get-go she would not be spending her life in an office but rather exploring the world. After discovering the beauty of sailing and life on the water, Nikita quickly booked her course to become a stewardess and culinary courses to increase her culinary skills, which led her to working as a sole chef/stew in Cape Town, South Africa on a superyacht. This is where both her passion for the sea and cooking aligned and she knew her career choice was right.
Gino and Nikita, being friends since high school and having created endless adventures, memories, and stories together, decided to join forces and run sailing charters out of Cape Town. Realizing how well they work together they made their way to the Virgin Islands for another adventure together.

One Of The Best Experiences I Have Ever Had
Gino is one of the nicest people I have ever meet he is so good with talking to people he made every moment fun and made sure to form a personal relationship with everyone he went from crew to friend in a few days.
Nikita is also amazing her cooking is 5 star I haven’t had better meals in my life she is also amazing talking to people very funny and nice and she also became a friend as well.
I loved playing games with them like blackjack they are amazing people and I can’t speak enough on how this experience is one of the best I have ever had. I hope to be able to sail with them again it was so fun.
Thank you to Gino and Nikita for this amazing time.

Absolutely Incredible
We spent the week on S/V Aquanimity with captain Gino and chef Nikita, who were absolutely incredible.
To say that we were treated well is an absolute understatement. Gino and Nikita ran the boat in the most professional manner, and calmly handing any issue, weather change or guest request with a smile and a ready solution.
Our adventure through the BVIs had the best snorkeling spots, fun hangouts and amazing meals every day! We had a blast! Cannot recommend this amazing team of Gino and Nikita highly enough.

Amazing Pair!
Gino and Nikita
We can't thank you enough for an amazing week! This was our first charter and you truly made it exceptional! You are an amazing pair that works so well together and we instantly felt like family with you.
You have set the bar high and there is no way I would consider a charter with any other couple.
Nikita your food was AMAZING! We did not expect that at all and were blown away each evening.

Hospitality and Kindness
The BVI's may be our new favorite vacation spot. Loved being able to slow down for a week and hit different spots daily. The absolute best part was the hospitality, kindness and energy of Gino and Nikita. You two work together like a well oiled machine and are such a pleasure to spend time with. You may be the only 20 year old I know who has sailed the Atlantic (though tough go on 3rd place)
THANK YOU for being so kind and for allowing us to chill with you for a week.
We will see you again soon.

Their Warmth, Energy and Knowledge Made Every Part Enjoyable
The memories our family made this week aboard Aquanimity with Captain Gino and Chef Nikita will last us a lifetime. This crews warmth, energy and knowledge made every part of our trip interesting and so enjoyable.
As parents of young kids aboard, Gino and Nikita's skill and professionalism instantly put us at ease, and they are a joy to know and so much fun to be around.
They make the best of every situation and their adaptability ensures a great time no matter what you are doing.
It is hard to think of highlights on a trip this great, but for us, the under-the-radar spots mights have to be the favorites (like secret shipwrecks!), as well as the Indians, Soggy Dollar Beach and Nikita's beautiful breakfasts.
We can't wait to tell our friends and family what a wonderful time we had this week in Gino and Nikita's capable hands.
Our kids ages were Jane (8) and Jack (6)

This Trip Covered It All
Words alone cannot even begin to describe our week on Aquanimity! Captain Gino at such a young age has experience WAY beyond his years. He is so very knowledgeable he makes you feel safe and secure in all he does. He's also a wonderful helper to first mate Nikita.
Nikita, what can I say about this delightful first mate/chef.
Her meals are beyond incredible starting with very tasty appetizers, continuing with scrumptious entrees, finishing off with delicious desserts + snacks in between.
Both Gino and Nikita are such a joy to be with, you want to make them part of your family. All our stops sailing throughout the BVI were such incredible experiences we couldn't wait to see what the next day would bring.
We shared this whole experience with such great friends and our crew have become new friends. It's not WHERE you go in life, it's WHO you go with.
This trip covered it all!
Until next time......

It was Just perfect
Bertie and Teresa
This was our first trip to the US Virgin islands and the British Virgin Islands and it was just perfect. You two are just lovely, wonderful people. I will not say bye but instead see you later. If you ever want to come to Arkansas, our home is your home. You have a place to stay.

So Much Fun!
This was definitely one of the most adventurous vacations my family has ever been on. It was so much fun. The beaches were awesome, so was the snorkeling. The food was INCREDIBLE! So thankful for Aquanimity!
What A Trip!
What a Trip! Thank you for going above and beyond to make out rip wonderful. From the morning cup of joe to the laughs and delicious meals - everything was perfection. Don't forget to call us up if you want to visit NC.
Great Sights, Great Company
Great sights, great company, a story for every occasion, and friends in every bay. With a shared bottle (or three) of sparkly to round out all the perfect cocktails at the end of a nice long week.
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!

Gracious Hosts.
What more gracious hosts there could be?
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.

Unforgettable Experience
We love y'all. What a fantastic experience for our family. You anticipated our every need long before we thought to ask. We felt safe in the wisdom of our legendary Captain Berite, and loved by the exquisite Chef Teresa. Teresa's gourmet food made the experience of every meal something to look forward to. We have never eaten this well for a week straight. The food was tasty and healthy.
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!

Memories Of A Lifetime
Hard to imagine that a simple "Thank you" properly meets the tall order of how much you both have inspired me to live life on my terms and let the water call my name as loudly as it did for the both of you!
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.

It was a Privilege
Thank you so much for sharing your boat and the USVI with us. Your recommendations were perfect from the hikes with beautiful views to the quiet bays for snorkeling to the quaint shops. We truly enjoyed our very relaxing vacation. Thanks Captain for a smooth ride. Teresa, your food was amazing and beautifully presented. I will definitely use some of your techniques to up my game :)
We also enjoyed the game nights. It was a privilege to spend the week in your company.
