CHA LEE Crew Profile
Jaco grew up in the Wine Country of South Africa, around Stellenbosch. He eventually moved to Cape Town to pursue his love for the ocean with sailing on the famous Table Bay, where from the age of 18 he worked aboard a day-sail charter catamaran (for 4 years). Jaco became a bit of a wanderer after that, but a wanderer with a purpose: He delivered newly-launched catamarans all over the world from the builder in Cape Town, to exotic destinations such as La Paz (Baja), Tortola, Croatia , Mallorca, and the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. He has over 75,000 nautical miles of ocean crossings to his credit. His career took him to a first mate’s position aboard a 100 ft sailing yacht, cruising around Germany, Denmark and Holland, and finally sailing the entire Mediterranean Sea during the summer. Cha-Lee showed up on Jaco’s horizon almost 3 years ago, with Jaco sailing Cha-Lee from Cape Town back to the Med, eventually leaving Italy in November 2011, bound for the BVI.
Jaco’s very keen on watersports activities, and enjoys surfing, sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling, kitesurfing, and wakeboarding, and of course the latest craze - paddle boarding. Anything to do with the ocean gives Jaco “an adrenalin rush”.
1st Mate/Chef Sarah Ward is from England.
CHA LEE Testimonials
The Jaeger group, New Years 2011/2012
“Our experience on Cha Lee was amazing! Not only was the boat beautiful and spacious, the crew had an amazing, young energy that really set the tone for the trip. Jaco knows how to handle Cha Lee like a master while Bianca creates some of the most delicious meals we’ve ever eaten. We could not have asked for a better experience in the BVI.”
