Say hello to Zeeman, our 20-year-old deckhand who combines a hard-working South African farm ethic with serious high-seas experience. Raised on his family’s guest farm, he mastered hospitality early by caring for visitors in the mountain cottage, campsites, and permanent caravans.
A true waterman, Zeeman is a dedicated professional obsessed with fishing, spear-fishing, and hunting lobster. Having recently completed a transatlantic crossing on MYMLAN II, he possesses expertise well beyond his years—even taking charge of navigational watchkeeping during the voyage. Whether he’s teaching you to paddleboard, driving the tender, or acting as your guide to the local reefs, his skills are top-tier. He is even currently training to be a Divemaster.
When he isn’t on the ocean, he’s likely tinkering with his “Bakkie” (his beloved 4×4) or sharing stories about tracking wild game. He lives for the thrill of the dunes, drifting and off-road driving.
While he is high-energy and famous for his legendary dance moves, Zeeman is deeply vigilant. With a safety-first mindset and a constant watchful eye, he ensures every guest has a fantastic time while remaining completely secure. With Zeeman on deck, you’re in hard-working, capable hands.
