Walter,50, Swiss,
is a 400 ton licensed captain since over 20 years and a Swiss licensed and certified mechanic as well a PADI certified dive-instructor with an experience of over 7000 dives.  

During a very cold and rainy summer in Europe in 1987, Walter went to the Dominican Republic for a dive vacation . He loved it and stayed to open one of the first European dive schools which he ran successfully for five years and it does still exist today, owned now by he’s best Swiss friend.
Never he stopped dreaming from the perfect Dive & Relax Vacation solution. A catamaran as a floating hotel and dive base. And the dream came true …

In 1991 he went to France and  bought the Belline ll. After customizing the Catamaran, he set sail through the Biscay to the Mediterranean sea where he cruised along the French coast, the Balearic Islands , Gibraltar and the Grand Canaries . From there Walter and his crew set sails for a cross Atlantic cruise .           

They had a wonderful quiet time across, and made landfall in the BVI's 21 days later.  Walter and his crew thought they where the next Columbus in Paradise when they found that the beer at Pusser's Landing on the dock was only a nickel!  (What they didn't know was they had landed on a Thursday, when Pusser's Pub was celebrating a special "Nickel-Nite").       

Walter is a well known captain/chef in the charter business  since a successfully 15 years. Over two thousand guests had the pleasure to experience an unforgettable vacation, blowing their first bubbles under water and spotting their first tropical fishes too. Many guests return year after year, read our guest letters.

One of his preferred moments is in the evening when he finds the time to create a wonderful meal and spoil you with one of the daily creations of tropical drinks. Some of his favorite meals need to be prepared each time for repeat guests they love it so much.

Because of his many skills other charter boaters call him, "Walter-will-fix-it", he always has a helping hand, no matter if mechanical or if its just a dash of salt …


Joining Walter aboard Belline ll is Sherry Burger

Sherry is born in N.Y. and raised in Kauii, a small island in Hawaii. She lived on board a large catamaran. 

Early she discovered the pleasures of the sea, became a wind surfer pro and masters also kite boarding, snorkelling/diving and of course sailing. 

Being all her life on water, over 20 years professionally and for pleasure, Sherry holds not only a 200t yacht master certificate, but several others too. She has extensively sailed the Caribbean and the Mediterranean on yachts between 30 ft to 120ft.  

She delivered yachts from the Virgin Islands to Newport as an all-in-one crew, chef, mate, mechanic and captain.  

Being a whiz behind the wheel and on the chart table outfitted with all the newest technologies does not stop her of having a three course meal up her sleeve ready by dropping anchor.  That makes her a perfect Belline ll multitask crew member. 

Not only has she travelled and explored many foreign countries, she also managed to pick up languages along the way and speaks next to her native English, some Italian, Greek, Spanish and Dutch . 

Her favourite dishes are mostly of Italian / Mediterranean influence where her desserts are deliriously chocolate dreams of French origin. 

Sherry’s landlubber years were dedicated to managing premier restaurants, along with menu planning, wine tasting etc. as well was she a consultant for the board of the American Institute of Wine and Food. 

Come wine and dine with Sherry and enjoy her multitasking, very friendly, patient, always smiling and open personality.  

Sherry is a NON-SMOKER!
