Richard and Dominique Vincent are a dynamic, energetic married couple from Johannesburg, South Africa. They are truly the definition of a team and play to each other’s strengths. They are never in competition with each other and if one sees the other needs help, they will quickly step into support.

These amazing qualities translate excellently to the charter environment. Their main focus, based on 5 years of chartering in the Caribbean, is the client’s happiness. As natural hosts, they go out of the way to ensure both the satisfaction and happiness of the guests. This attitude coupled with their efficient planning and organizational skills makes for trouble-free, enjoyable charters.

Richard is naturally friendly, and passionate and has excellent social skills. He exudes confidence and he instils a sense of safety in others. He is a natural leader but is equally prepared to roll up his sleeves and do what needs to be done to get the job done. Richard is comfortable meeting the demands of his position and is always thinking ahead to ensure a stunning charter for his guests.

Dominique is a natural nurturer and loves to feed people with quality, attractive and tasty dishes. After her training at Ashburton, UK and being a chef on charter boats serving 100’s of delicious meals, Dominique has discovered that her passion is to cook for others. To this end she has spent the last 2 years experimenting with new dishes, working with different spices and flavours and presenting mouthwatering meals making the recipients come back for more. A true gift. Her quiet, easy-going nature makes it easy to interact with her and she is a calming influence in any situation.

Together this couple has an A-class work ethic and their professional conduct has made them a favourite in the charter environment, both with guests as well as colleagues.
