With over seven years of experience in yachting and another seven on cruise ships, Captain Michael Weiner is a seasoned sailor, skilled entertainer, and all-around adventure enthusiast. Originally from Durban, South Africa, Michael brings a wealth of expertise, a contagious smile, and endless energy to every VOYAGE Charters journey, creating a fun, relaxed, and unforgettable experience for guests.
Michael’s career blends his passion for exploration and his deep love for connecting with people. Having attended hotel school, worked as a water sports instructor, and served as chief of entertainment aboard cruise liners, Michael’s diverse background perfectly complements his role as a captain. His extensive RYA Yacht master Ocean Certification, combined with his local knowledge of the BVI’s waters and islands, ensures each charter is not only smooth and safe but also full of memorable moments.
Described as patient, safe, and smiley, Michael’s attention to detail and safety-oriented approach puts guests immediately at ease. Whether teaching guests to sail, sharing captivating pirate tales and island stories, or crafting “yummy drinks” to toast a stunning sunset, he consistently goes above and beyond to create a personalized experience. One of Michael’s most cherished memories includes marrying a lovely couple during a picture-perfect ceremony at sea, showcasing his ability to make life’s special moments truly extraordinary.
Outside of sailing, Michael enjoys grilling, fishing, gardening, walking on the beach, and playing Xbox. He’s also an animal magnet, a fun fact made even quirkier by his webbed toes, which he proudly credits for his duck-like swimming skills!
When it comes to charter life, Michael believes: “Vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it.” For him, the perfect day begins with a sunrise coffee on the flybridge of a VOYAGE 590, sailing across calm, clear waters as the first boat to leave the anchorage. He thrives on making every day on board just as beautiful, ensuring guests feel safe, relaxed, and completely at home while exploring the stunning British Virgin Islands.
Captain Michael hopes guests leave their charter feeling they’ve gained not only new sailing skills and unforgettable memories but also a lifelong friend. His infectious energy, thoughtful service, and joyful storytelling make him a standout member of the VOYAGE Charters team, ensuring every trip feels like the vacation of a lifetime. And while Michael may joke that he “can’t sing but can dance,” his fun-loving spirit and dedication to his guests ensure a charter experience that’s as seamless as it is memorable.
