Yacht Caribbean Dream
Kelly Shepherd and Angie Webber. Kelly has spent most of his adult life on the sea. He had his own Deep Sea and Fishing Charter business in Knysna, South Africa which he ran "hands on" for 17 years. Prior to this, Kelly worked as a chef at a seafood restaurant and also farmed oysters on the Knysna lagoon. He has his SA Yachtmaster and loves nothing more than to involve his guests in the sailing of the yacht. He is fondly referred to by guests as the Cocktail King and you can always find him concocting up new and adventurous drinks for happy hour! Angie also grew up on the water, sailing catamarans with her father and 4 older brothers in Durban. Thereafter she moved to Cape Town and ran a successful tour guide operation for 12 years before relocating to Knysna where she met Kelly. Shortly after that, through a mutual friend, they were offered a position chartering in the Grenadines, where they remained for a number of years and where Angie became a PADI Divemaster. They have extensive sailing experience throughout the Caribbean and are now based in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Her menus are varied and will create delicious dishes to suit everyone's palate as well as hint of very special South African cuisine!
Guest Comments for Kelly and Angie
"What can I say - AMAZING! I loved every second of this trip and am determined to make it back to you and Caribbean Dream. Sincerely, you are both awesome and brought life and laughter to our vacation and made an adventure that we weren't sure we would like, into our best vacation ever. Keep doing what you are doing just the way you do it - it's perfect.” - Natali - N.J.
"Thank you for welcoming us on Caribbean Dream. The food and sailing was fantastic. We dived the Rhone, played with an octopus, saw humpback whales, shooting stars, laughed, lazed and simply relaxed. We forgot that there was anything or anywhere else - we lived the moment and you made us feel so at home. Hope we get to visit you on Caribbean Dream again.” - Louise and John - N.C.
"Thank you so much for a most memorable week. You are truly the perfect hosts who made us feel so at home and relaxed while forgetting about home at the same time. There is nothing about this trip that could have been better. Thanks for sharing your BVI favourites with us - you are a great team and your paradise is wonderful.” - Susan and Tom
"What a great vacation our family had. You two were awesome with the kids - they so enjoyed you. We loved Monkey Point - the Tarpin were huge! The Caves were beautiful - lots of colourful fish and the "fishbowl" at Great Dog was wild!! Thanks for memories.” - Meaghan, Tyler, Conor, Rory and Duncan
"Sea turtles, eaglerays, dolphins, baracuda, tarpin and tons of other fish, even a school of squid and three starfish, what fun! The food was delicious and the sailing exciting. Thank you so much Kelly and Angie - what a wonderful family vacation.” - Suzy
