CREW: WALMAR DE WET AND TAMIKA DU PREEZ
DECK STEW: HEIN VAN EEDEN
Walmar grew up boating and living along the coast of South Africa; his first week long boat trip was with his dad at the age of three. Sailing, freediving, and watersports formed part of his daily life growing up. Walmar has an active lifestyle always trying out new hobbies, in 2022 he completed his Padi divemaster certification and has recently started kite surfing.
He has ample experience in the maritime industry from when he started his career in 2009. Beginning work as a deckhand on his father's fishing vessel, then navigating large Chemical Tankers on a worldwide itinerary and sailing mega yachts for high-profile owners in the Mediterranean and Middle East. He holds a 500t Captains license and has completed many charters in the Virgin Islands with his fiancé Tamika since April 2022.
Tamika grew up in Melkbosstrand, a small surfing town located on the west coast of South Africa and has a very close bond to the ocean. Hence after completing school she found yachting to be the perfect entry to this amazing industry.
Tamika started off her career in the Mediterranean where she worked for an American couple on a privately owned super yacht as chef/stewardess. She then saw an opportunity to improve her skills and took on working for multiple high-profile owners in the Middle East offering Silver Service Charters. Cooking has been part of her life from a young age adn she always strives for perfection. She has taken multiple culinary courses over the years including formal training at IYT where she completed the Superyacht Chef Course. She combines creativity, attention to detail, and a love of fresh ingredients to delight her guests.
Rounding out their seasoned crew is Hein, an experienced sailor, Dive Master, and renowned mixologist from Langebaan, South Africa. As your deckhand and steward, Hein will not only ensure you always have a delicious and unique cocktail to sip on while enjoying the beautiful scenery but will also create countless ocean adventures that will become lifetime memories for you and your family whether that be learning to freedive, spearfish, or surf on our new eFoil carbon boards.
Walmar and Tamika are back for their third charter season in the Virgin Islands after running a total of 35 charters. This fun and enthusiastic, yet professional crew are super excited to welcome you onboard Tru North.
