THE CREW
JONATHAN
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, it wasn’t until Jonathan and his family moved to Australia where his passion for the outdoors and adventure began. He comes from a family of avid sailors which is where the intrigue for sailing started. Jonathan began his working career as an engineering Tradesperson in Heavy Fabrication & Welding. That experience gave him a broad background for all things mechanical.
In 2015, he decided to turn his dream of working as a Professional Yacht Captain into a reality and he obtained his Offshore Yacht Master’s in South Africa. Jonathan has since had a vast amount of experience working on charter yachts in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, French Polynesia, Thailand, Australia and South Africa, working as both a Charter Captain, Delivery Captain and Lead Skipper of a flotilla company.
In his free time, between charter seasons, Jonathan also started a Safari company taking guests through South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Experiencing the vast landscapes, animal safari’s and 4wding (which is definitely not for the faint hearted). Jonathan’s first love however, will always be sailing, feeling most at home being in and around the water!
Jonathan spends his spare time participating in water sports, diving, fishing and travelling (anything that involves water really). Jonathan self-admits that he much prefers the relaxed lifestyle that comes with yachting and would eventually like to purchase a yacht of his own and sail around the world with his partner, Tracy.
TRACY
Born in the coastal South West of Australia, this is where Tracy’s love of the great outdoors began. Tracy grew up on a farm and started boating from a young age. Living on the coast allowed her to flourish on the beach and in the water.
Over the years Tracy has worked in several cafes and restaurants in Western Australia, well known for it’s famous wine regions. Tracy worked as a supervisor, chef and barista with over eight years experience in the hospitality industry.
Tracy also studied Occupational Therapy, at Curtin University, which lead to a career in the disability sector supporting adults with Autism. Tracy has always had the urge to support other’s in need. She has since returned to working in the hospitality industry, having travelled overseas to a vast variety of countries, Tracy fell in love with the yachting lifestyle. After all, what could be better than travelling from place to place whilst working onboard a yacht!
Tracy has sailed around the western and eastern coasts of Australia, Mediterranean and French Polynesia. Her broad cooking style incorporates an array of seafood, Asian delicacies and comforting Italian cuisines to make you feel like you’re experiencing different cultures.
REVIEWS
MARCH 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Our family of 3 couples from Kansas City, MO and Memphis, TN in the US spent a week in March 2023 on Windward with Jon and Tracy. Our priorities when looking for a boat were in this order - 1) crew, 2) boat layout and amenities, 3) food/drinks and 4) the destinations.
Jon and Tracy were extremely attentive to our group throughout. Fun, professional, absolutely first class service. We had previously taken a trip on a 67' cat but this 54' Bali had an amazing modern layout that felt equally as spacious and was meticulously maintained. The meals, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner were like dining at a first class restaurant. During the 7 nihgt trip we had 7 distinct BVI stops that will all provide their own memories.
For anyone considering a BVI cat sail, we would highly recommend Jon and Tracy and the Windward boat. We would absolutely consider booking this combination again. A+ eperience!!!

We can't put our words to paper. We are speechless! But, we will quote a guy we met on the beach the first day, "I don't want to oversell it, but this is going to be the trip of a lifetime!" . . . and truer words have never been said. Jon and Tracy were beyond . . . and made our trip magical. The scenic views, the gourmet food, the onshore adventures and the bond we made with each other will last a lifetime.
Thank you Jon and Tracy for providing us an experience that surpassed our wildest dreams! You two are the very best.

To my dearest Kelly and Wouts, Thank you!!! Y’all were amazing, this entire trip was amazing from start to finish, the food was absolute perfection. We loved having you join us at the bars and playing our games with us! Thank you for giving us new words to use and keeping us laughing. We all agree this was the best crew ever!! You survived the Bumpass family and the Diamonds, and Baxter. Thank you!
Thank you Kelly and Wouts for the absolute BEST week! I couldn't have imagined a better pair to entertain and play with our kids. Lulu and Webb loved absolutely every minute of our trip. The food was outstanding, I will be trying to copy so many of your meals Kelly and Wouts is the captain extraordinaire. Everyday was a fun and new adventure and we can’t thank you enough for helping us make so many fun memories.
This was the most wonderful family trip we have ever taken! The food, the scenery, the activities, but most of all Kelly and Wouts. They make the best team and we would definitely sail with them again. We love y’all!
MARCH 2022 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
We expected a great trip and it exceeded our expectations. Kelly provided incredible food and Wouts gave us leadership in watersports and sailing. Can't imagine how it could be improved.
It was a blast! The water was clear and the beaches were nice. It was the best time ever, the snorkeling was fun. (10 year old).
Great food, ship and team, thanks! What a holiday. A beautifully appointed 5 star restaurant which went to the best locations in the islands. So comfortable and made even more so with Wouts and Kelly- always capable and helpful and so skilled at what they do. Great seamanship and teamwork- set the new record to Anegada. Hope to see you both again for another perfect holiday.

Amazing trip! The sailing, the food, the views, the food, the islands, the food, the captain, the food, the amazing chef and her food. You both made our trip unforgettable, we hope to be back to the BVI. Specifically with you. PS, if you need the third crew member, I can fill the barista position.
