EXTRA NAUTI Yacht Charter Catamaran

Captain Robert Jennings
Captain Robert, affectionately known as "Captain Rob," has been sailing the Caribbean for over 30 years—most of that time spent exploring and mastering the waters of the British Virgin Islands. Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, his connection to the ocean began early through sailing, surfing, and lifesaving. That passion eventually led him to the Caribbean, where his family opened a sailing school in the BVI in the early 1990s.

A seasoned sailor and natural teacher, Captain Rob has spent many years instructing students and sharing his deep knowledge of seamanship with those eager to learn. But his talents extend well beyond the helm. He is also a skilled chef and accomplished artist, often found painting live at scenic locations throughout the islands, capturing the vibrant spirit and beauty of the BVI on various mediums.

Whether he’s guiding guests through a perfect day under sail, preparing a delicious meal, or creating art inspired by the sea, Captain Rob brings creativity, experience, and a calm, steady presence to every adventure.
