Your  Belline II Crew

 

Captains Walter Wegmann and Sherryl Burger

 

Walter,50, Swiss,
is a 400 ton licensed captain since over 20 years and a Swiss licensed and certified mechanic as well a PADI certified dive-instructor with an experience of over 7000 dives.

During a very cold and rainy summer in Europe in 1987, Walter went to the Dominican Republic for a dive vacation . He loved it and stayed to open one of the first European dive schools which he ran successfully for five years and it does still exist today, owned now by he’s best Swiss friend.
Never he stopped dreaming from the perfect Dive & Relax Vacation solution. A catamaran as a floating hotel and dive base. And the dream came true …

In 1991 he went to France and bought the Belline ll. After customizing the Catamaran, he set sail through the Biscay to the Mediterranean sea where he cruised along the French coast, the Balearic Islands , Gibraltar and the Grand Canaries . From there Walter and his crew set sails for a cross Atlantic cruise .

They had a wonderful quiet time across, and made landfall in the BVI's 21 days later. Walter and his crew thought they where the next Columbus in Paradise when they found that the beer at Pusser's Landing on the dock was only a nickel! (What they didn't know was they had landed on a Thursday, when Pusser's Pub was celebrating a special "Nickel-Nite").

Walter is a well known captain/chef in the charter business since a successfully 15 years. Over two thousand guests had the pleasure to experience an unforgettable vacation, blowing their first bubbles under water and spotting their first tropical fishes too. Many guests return year after year, read our guest letters.

One of his preferred moments is in the evening when he finds the time to create a wonderful meal and spoil you with one of the daily creations of tropical drinks. Some of his favorite meals need to be prepared each time for repeat guests they love it so much.

Because of his many skills other charter boaters call him, "Walter-will-fix-it", he always has a helping hand, no matter if mechanical or if its just a dash of salt …

Joining Walter aboard Belline ll is Simeon

Simeon is 35, Scottish and a certified Dive instructor In his early twenties he started to extensively travel and work in beautiful and exotic countries like Spain, Greece on Rhodes and Santorin, Maldives, Vietnam, Nicaragua on Little Corn Island, Australia and Thailand. In some as a Dive base assistant and manager.

After all the traveling, Simeon has settled and been living/working in the BVI´s. Thus he is very knowledgeable with the islands, its magic and beauty. He also completed two seasons on a very busy charter boat and worked on land as well.

He loves to show guests the best snorkel/dive spots and is a great and calm dive buddy who does not only know all the fish and corals but also is concerned to protect them.

During his travels he entertained a lot of friends and guests with a variety of mix drinks and blenders… although he drinks very little alcohol himself…

Simeon is not only and active and sportive person, he is as easy going but attentive as well. In his free time he enjoys reading, movies and running, as well he is studying his “rusty” Greek, Rhodes is where he calls "home".

He holds several Dive Instructor certificates in different levels and logs thousands of dives and is an experienced apneist. He sailed single handed 2500miles on his 27ft boat around the west Caribbean, including Dominican Repl., Puerto Rico, Jamaica and Cuba with only two weeks being on land !

Being an avid sailor makes one to be a good fisherman too and he now is a master in filleting Mahi Mahi and other delicious fish, he caught a 60lb sailfish on his voyage!
