MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Kyle Bevan
CHEF: Luzaan Potgieter

Captain Kyle Bevan grew up in the North West Province of South Africa, where his love for the outdoors was shaped by the wide-open spaces of the bushveld. From a young age, he had a strong connection to nature and adventure, but it wasn’t long before he realized his passion couldn’t be contained to land alone, when he was 17 he discovered sailing — and he’s been hooked ever since.
After school, Kyle went on to study BSc Physics at university while spending as much time as possible on the water through the university sailing clubs. Before long, the call of the ocean grew stronger, and when the opportunity to sail across the Atlantic came up, he jumped at it. That first major passage changed everything, and Kyle decided to put his studies on hold to pursue a full-time career at sea.
Following another Atlantic crossing, Kyle found himself in the British Virgin Islands, where he began working as a Captain. Since then, he’s captained a range of 52ft–70ft catamarans around the Caribbean, exploring places like the British Virgin Islands, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Lucia.
Kyle holds an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Endorsement and is also a certified PADI Divemaster. His experience covers everything from itinerary planning and guest entertainment to vessel maintenance, navigation, snorkeling trips, and dive leadership. He’s passionate about making sure guests have an unforgettable experience, both above and below the water.
Known for his easygoing nature, strong work ethic, and love for adventure, Captain Kyle combines South African spirit and professional seamanship to create incredible sailing journeys for every guest who steps aboard.
