The Crew of Pentesilea

Hans and Ruth, my parents were born in Zurich, Switzerland and speak fluent German and English. Hans started sailing as a youngster, racing boats on lake Zurich with his father. Ruth was introduced to sailing after high school, and raced together with Hans as a team in Europe and Minnesota, USA. After having discovered the Caribbean in the 1970's, they have been extensively sailing/cruising the island's from the Bahamas to Grenada for over 18 years.

Hans holds a USGC captains license and has worked as an executive in the industrial automation & measurement field for a major German company in the USA for over 20 years. He enjoys all water sports, especially sailing and windsurfing and will be happy to introduce you to sailing or allow you to demonstrate your own sailing skills.

Chef/Hostess Ruth loves the ocean and has sailed extensively in many parts of the world. Most memorable was the crossing of the Pacific Ocean. Collecting seashells has inspired her to design and create nautical jewelry on board. She loves to cook and will introduce you to some international and especially Swiss cuisine.

Hans and Ruth look forward to welcoming you on board Pentesilea II and will ensure you a most wonderful and memorable vacation.
