The Funky Miracle team, can’t wait to welcome you to the BVI
Set sail with Robin and Sophie on an unforgettable vacation that will leave you refreshed, with bellies full of good food and hearts full of fond memories.
Welcome to your professional captain Robin with over 30000 sea miles and experience in long distance deliveries, charters and ocean crossings in the southern ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean as well as the Caribbean. Having learnt to sail in the unpredictable waters of South Africa, he is a confident and experienced boat handler who will make sure you feel calm and safe. With his meticulous attention to detail he looks forward to creating tailored experiences and showing you the best the BVIs have to offer, and maybe making you a cocktail or 3!
Having grown up on and around sailing boats since she was born, including sailing from Greece to New Zealand with her family over 4 years as a young child, Sophie is intimately familiar with this industry. She joined the sailing industry professionally in 2017 and worked previously in hospitality in many roles, from close and cosy pubs to elegant 5-star hotels. She grew up cooking on boats so creating exciting and delicious meals in small spaces comes naturally to her. She consolidated her years of cooking professionally with a Chef course in London in 2023 and looks forward to cooking elevated home cooking for you, the perfect cross between fine dining and home cooking.
*If unforeseen circumstances prevent this crew from hosting your charter, another competent crew will substitute.
