Meet the Crew

Captain Tyler Strydom and Chef Gabriella Leatt are confirmed aboard for the 2026/27 season. Tyler started five years ago in Hout Bay harbor working on yacht refits, which is where the practical understanding of boats came from, then captained luxury liveaboard spearfishing charters along the East African coast out of Zanzibar. He is a commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and a PADI Divemaster, and has run private charters through East Africa and the Caribbean. He likes shaping the week to the group, whether that is watersports from dawn or doing very little; off duty he is usually kitesurfing or diving.

Guest Reviews

“Franky & Kate,

Since we arrived at the port of Tortola, we had the pleasure of having Franky as our captain and Kate as our chef. They met all of our expectations, plus some! Every meal was delicious and there was plenty of it. Captain cocktail hour was something we looked forward to at the end of the day. Kate's food was fabulous and different very day. Franky's knowledge of the BVI area was very professional. The excursions they booked for us were over the opt! One of our favorites as the conch island. We had a vacation of a lifetime and will be returning. We highly recommend sailing on the Alora! Cam on as strangers, leaving as friends.

-Mark & Vicki…”

“Just got back from a 7 night BVI cruise on the 49 ft Alora. It was a fantastic adventure.
Franky, the Captain, was awesome and took us to some great spots for snorkeling, wave and paddle board, hiking and beaches.
Kate, the cook, prepared the 5 star meals with a presentation that was over the top.
We’d do it again with this boat and crew .”
