Bertie and Michelle are a laid-back, fun-loving pair who live for the ocean and all its adventures - fishing, sailing, snorkeling, and more. They’re thrilled to invite you aboard to experience the stunning splendor of the Caribbean Islands. With their genuine excitement and eagerness, they’re dedicated to making sure your every need is met and your time with them is unforgettable. Get ready for an amazing experience that will have you dreaming of your next visit!

Captain Bertie -

Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he´s off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious - whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.

Chef Michelle -


Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as their backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkeling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.

Wind Dancer Guest Reviews

Robert Schnatter

Aboard DreamSong on 30 Dec 2023 in SVG with Bertie and Michelle

Comment: Bertie and Michelle were two of the nicest, most pleasant, helpful crew that we have had. The only recommendation that I would make would be to speed up the times that we were dining, it often was a little late. With more experience, this could be one of the top crews at TW.

Janet Kindl

Aboard DreamSong on the 25 Nov 2023 in SVG with Bertie and Michelle

Comment: First - the crew Michelle, Bertie were excellent. Lots of fun, food was great and they are wonderful hosts/people. The food was fresh and very tasty. The boat had an engine go - didn´t affect the trip at all.
