Overview
Two primary suites set Alora apart. Most catamarans her size give one couple the best cabin; this 49-foot Bali sailing catamaran gives that feeling to two, plus a third queen cabin, so up to 6 guests each get their own en-suite bathroom and shower. Guests say she never feels cramped, with room to gather as a group or slip away in pairs. She's fully air-conditioned with Starlink Wi-Fi, a water maker and a ship's bar, and she carries sea scooters, a wakeboard, paddle boards, a ZUP board, a towable tube, a floating dock, snorkel and fishing gear for days around the British Virgin Islands and Leewards. South African captain Tyler Strydom, a Yachtmaster Offshore and PADI Divemaster, loves tailoring the pace, from active watersports days to slow secluded anchorages. Chef Gabriella Leatt cooks fresh, seasonal menus inspired by local markets, and she's also a qualified yoga instructor. Perfect for couples traveling together and small groups of friends who like to stay active.

Meet Your Crew
Captain Tyler Strydom & Chef Gabriella Leatt
*Tyler & Gabriella are the confirmed crew for the 2026/2027 season!*
Captain Tyler Strydom
Tyler’s journey into sailing began over five years ago in the harbor of Hout Bay, South Africa, where he worked on yacht refits. This gave him a practical, hands-on understanding of boat maintenance before he moved aboard a yacht and set his course for a career at sea.
His journey then took him to Zanzibar, where he captained luxury liveaboard spearfishing charters along the raw East African coastline. Today, as a commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Captain and PADI Divemaster, Tyler has extensive experience running private charters throughout both East Africa and the Caribbean. Tyler enjoys working closely with guests to personalize their vacation to their exact needs—whether that means tailoring an active itinerary filled with watersports or planning a relaxed, slow-paced getaway.
He loves helping people experience the Caribbean from a unique perspective, whether he's navigating to a secluded anchorage, finding a hidden snorkeling spot, or enjoying a sunset sail. When he's not at the helm, you'll usually find him kitesurfing, scuba diving, fishing, spearfishing, hiking or diving into the local history of the island.
Chef Gabriella Leatt
Originally from South Africa, Gabriella found her way into yachting through her love of hospitality, travel, and cooking. After completing a Business Degree in Brand Building and Management, she combined her passion for creating memorable guest experiences with life at sea, building a career as a Chef and First Mate throughout the Caribbean.
Gabriella enjoys creating fresh, seasonal menus inspired by the places she visits and the local ingredients she discovers along the way. She believes that some of the best holiday memories are made around the table, whether it's a relaxed beach picnic or dinner under the stars.
Outside the galley, Gabriella is also a qualified 200-hour Yoga Instructor and loves sharing her passion for wellness, alongside singing, kitesurfing, photography, and exploring local markets in search of new flavours and inspiration. Her warm personality, attention to detail, and genuine love of hosting help create a welcoming atmosphere where guests can feel completely at home.
CHEF
Valentina (Leni) O'Shea
Valentina, known to many as Leni, grew up on and around the water, helping in her family’s dive shop from a young age. This early start gave her a natural comfort with the sea and a love for welcoming people into its world. Over time, she combined that passion with her love of cooking leading her to pursue a career as a yacht chef.
After completing her Anchors & Aprons yacht chef training and earning her STCW Basic Safety Training certification, Leni has worked in a variety of hospitality settings.
Leni believes that food is more than just nourishment—it’s about bringing people together. Her goal is to create meals that make guests feel at home while still delivering the excitement of new flavors and beautiful presentation. Beyond the galley, she shares her enthusiasm for scuba diving, sailing, art, music, and travel, which helps her connect with guests on a personal level.

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 Franky & Kate - Girl power!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and professionalism with us. This truly was an adventure of a lifetime! Franky - you are an amazing captain, an inspiration! Kate - thank you for filling us up every day with wonderful dishes! We will remember you both!! -Carly & Wendy
Franky & Kate - Just an incredible experience on the Alora with you! Incredible food, delightful excursions - the weather - your company! All amazing!! Highly recommend Sherwin's tour of conch island, the fresh ceviche he made - be sure to take this tour! Wishing you delightful guests all season, exceptional weather and loads of fun! Thank you for our amazing adventure!! -Anne, Chris, Becky, John, Kristen & Matt
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 .
From start to finish it was a 5 star experience. The boat Alora was better than we expected. Comfortable with a group of 6 adults. Plenty of space to visit as a group and also lots of space to just hang out in groups of 2 or less. Never felt cramped or on top of one another. The crew on the Alora was by far our best experience of the entire week. Rorke and Paige communicated with us about a week prior to our departure and made sure our expectations would be met. They far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped off our water taxi a Scrub Island they were at our service. Every question was answered with a yes and changes to our planned destinations were welcomed. Rorke is an exceptional captain and was always at ease no matter what we encountered. He is even a better young man and truly enjoyed getting to spend the week with him. Paige is a beauty to eye and even more of a beauty at heart. Her culinary skills are impeccable. Her ability to make us feel at home was outstanding. They as a couple are a pure joy to be around. We left with new friends and the hope of future encounters. Honestly, the best vacation my wife and friends have ever experienced!
