Brief

Captain Bart
Captain Bart was born and raised in South Africa and grew up along the southern coast of the country, the infamous Garden Route. Bart spent times in his childhood sailing small catamarans in the Knysna Bay area with family. This early exposure formed a lifelong love of being on the sea and of sailing.

Having always been around boats when he was younger, he decided to change up his lifestyle after a bout as a quarry manager for 8+ years after high school. He did his sailing YachtMasters license in his homeland back in 2019. Upon completion, he has served on various large yachts in different locations, including the Bahamas and the East Coast of the US. Easy going and always up for a chat, he loves sharing experiences and is always happy to talk sailing and boats. As an ex- Skydiving instructor and keen scuba diver, you are sure to hear some exciting stories. Bart believes that safety is always the primary focus when preforming his captain duties, and that having respect for the environment will always provide for an optimal, fun-filled trip. Bart can’t wait to experience more trips throughout The Bahamas with new faces in sunny, favourite places.

Chef Katie
Penny Jo welcomes Katie, a Canadian chef who comes from a university town an hour west of Toronto, Ontario. Her love for food and cooking hatched from a young age. Her Nan (also Katie) shared her wealth of knowledge and family recipes from the time she could walk and hold a wooden spoon. Many summer days were spent canning jams, jellies and preserves, baking fresh pies and hosting family gatherings where our efforts could be enjoyed by all.

Throughout high school, Katie worked part time in the hospitality industry. Serving in a local banquet hall, as well as several local fine dining kitchens. Once Katie finished high school, there was only one real path which all of her friends and family knew was before her; Chef school. Katie attended a private French culinary institute in Canada, Stratford Chef’s School.

Upon graduation, Katie worked several private chef gigs throughout North America. This gave her off seasons in between her contracts to go and travel, which is a major hobby and love of hers. She took her time to explored Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Central America solo and with friends. This broadened her scope in cooking, giving her new flavours and ingredients to unwrap and understand.

Once the travelling itch was satisfied, Katie began to explore new avenues to merge her existing career with other hobbies and passions like travel and scuba diving. This is where interest and recommendations came for the yachting industry. She travelled to South Africa to complete her yachting qualifications in 2021, where she met Captain Bart in Cape Town through the local yachting community. Our first Captain and Chef couple’s job came quickly upon completion of my STCW yachting course. We began our journey together on an 80” Motor Yacht in the jewel of the Caribbean, The Bahamas. We spent a year and a half on sister ships for that same company and explored all down the chain of the Caribbean including Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and St. Maarten.


Captain Bart and Chef/First Mate Katie look forward to sharing their personal experience and brand new adventures with all who join aboard PennyJo this 2023/2024 season in The Bahamas.

How would you qualify skipper:
Captain Ainsley was AMAZING! He was great with our teenagers, had the best personality, and knew so much about the Bahamas! We are so grateful we had him as our Captain. He took us to so many amazing places in the Bahamas where you would have thought we were the only people in the world because they were secluded.

How would you qualify rest of the crew:
Mispah is an absolute gem! She cooks the most amazing meals and is so accommodating. I swear every single meal she made, became our new favorite!

How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc):
The yacht was super clean, new, and well taken care of. There were great amenities such as a yeti type cup that you could fill up all day long and got to take home with you!


How would you qualify the itinerary:
We loved our itinerary. Captain Ainsley made it so special and did activities our kids loved.

How would you qualify the sports and leisure activities/equipment on board:
We LOVED the sun chill! They also had a really cool motorized underwater toy that the teenagers loved playing with! The paddle boards were awesome too!

How would you qualify the food and drinks:
Mispah took such good care of us! She cooked amazing food, made any drinks we wanted, and always had ice water out all day. I struggle with having too much sugar and Mispah went out of her way to make me drinks with fresh ingredients instead of sugars!

How would you qualify the entire experience of your trip:
This was a once in a lifetime trip and we had a blast!

How would you qualify skipper:
Ainsley has a wealth of experience and local knowledge. He's accommodating and flexible, and goes above and beyond to deliver the best possible experience.

How would you qualify rest of the crew:
Mispah is a fantastic cook and mixologist! She totally spoiled us!

How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc):
Boat is only a couple of years old, so in very good condition and well maintained. Onboard WIFI was a surprise and very useful. Back wall of the salon raises up to allow entire back area to be open to the outside, very nice.


How would you qualify the itinerary:
Ainsley was very good at optimizing the itinerary on the fly to accommodate for the current conditions.

Nassau

on 2023-03-28

How would you qualify skipper:
Captain Ainsley was outstanding! He was very patient and kind. He knew all the best places to bring us to and had lots of good inside knowledge of the times and places to be there to maximize your privacy and fun! He made sure we had so much fun and saw the most beautiful places!

How would you qualify rest of the crew:
Chef Mispah is so very attentive and has incredible attention to detail! She anticipated our every need and exceeded our expectations in every way to make our trip so very memorable and delicious!

How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc):
The only complaint we had was the air conditioning in our bedroom wasn't working for 3 of the 6 nights, and it was hot and muggy, making it difficult to sleep. Part of the reason we booked a newer model luxury yacht was to limit the risk of unforseen mechanical problems, so it was disappointing to end the trip feeling so tired from not sleeping well.


How would you qualify the itinerary:
Absolutely perfect!

How would you qualify the sports and leisure activities/equipment on board:
The only other disappointment was the underwater scooters that we were very excited to try were broken and in the States for repair. We loved using the sunchill, paddleboards, and snorkling equiptment. We also enjoyed playing UNO on board in the evenings.

How would you qualify the food and drinks:
Fresh, delicious, and very satisfying!

How would you qualify the entire experience of your trip:
I believe the people and the scenery have much to do with the overall experience. The Exuma Islands are incredible! The crew was outstanding! We were all very happy with the time we were able to share on the Penny Jo celebrating and making memories to last a lifetime!

How would you qualify skipper:
Captain Ainsley was a very capable and experienced Captain. We appreciated his knowledge of the islands and the waters. He had to plan out our itinerary very precisely to fit in everything we wanted to do in a shorter time.

How would you qualify rest of the crew:
Mispah is a fantastic chef! She went above and beyond to prepare fabulous meals for us and to accommodate vegetarian and gluten free requests. It was a joy to have Mispah on board with us. We could not help but notice how she never stopped working. She would start a 6:00 in the morning and go until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening.

How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc):
I loved all the special touches on the Penny Jo. The pillows, the soaps, the drink holders etc. It is a beautiful catamaran and it is kept spotless. The owners of this boat have thought of everything and truly want to provide a perfect charter. They went out of their to help us when we were in a difficult position. They are truly wonderful people.


How would you qualify the itinerary:
We got to sail exactly where we wanted and see everything we had hoped to.

How would you qualify the sports and leisure activities/equipment on board:
We did not use any of the equipment.

Top notch! Premium quality alcohol and excellent wines. The food was fabulous because Mispah is an amazing cook. Every single meal we had was perfect. I am vegetarian and she made me some of the best food I have ever had, especially her pasta!

How would you qualify the entire experience of your trip:
I loved everything about it. This was not my first charter but it was definitely my favourite.
