Overview
Floor-to-ceiling glass and a skylight fill the salon with Caribbean light, and the flybridge lounge, just steps from the helm, gives you 360-degree views of the Virgin Islands. Changes in Latitudes is a 2025 Leopard 50 sailing catamaran with a bow seating area guests love, a breezy salon that opens fore and aft, and full air-conditioning. Four queen cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom and stall shower, sleep up to 8 guests. Paddle boards, sea scooters, a tube, a floating mat and snorkel gear keep the days playful, and the crew can arrange rendezvous diving or a Discover Scuba session. Captain Gino Barale, an ocean racer from South Africa who has sailed the Atlantic to Rio, teams up with lifelong friend Nikita Du Preez, whose menus run from eggs Florentine with boat-made hollandaise to relaxed island dinners. Returning guests call them the best crew they've ever had. A great match for families and for friends sharing a week in the BVI.

Meet Your Crew
Captain Gino Barale & Chef/first Mate Nikita Du preez
Captain: Gino Barale
Chef/First Mate: Nikita Du Preez
Gino grew up in the bush, travelling across Southern Africa with his parents. Any chance they got they were out camping in remote locations, which is where his great sense of adventure came about. Gino was introduced to sailing through his father, which is where he began to compete in multiple races, working his way up from crew to skippering his own boat.
After 3 years of racing keelboats, Gino found himself in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean enroute to Rio De Janeiro competing in the Cape 2 Rio Ocean race. This ended up being a 3-month journey, sailing from island to island in Brazil once they got there before starting the passage back home to Cape Town, South Africa.
Nikita found her love for cooking at a young age in the kitchen with her dad where he taught her all the tips and tricks to cooking a delicious meal. With time, this slowly ended up becoming weekly competitions in the house in who created the better dish.
Nikita decided from the get-go she would not be spending her life in an office but rather exploring the world. After discovering the beauty of sailing and life on the water, Nikita quickly booked her course to become a stewardess and culinary courses to increase her culinary skills, which led her to working as a sole chef/stew in Cape Town, South Africa on a super yacht. This is where both her passion for the sea and cooking aligned and she knew her career choice was right.
Gino and Nikita, being friends since high school and having created endless adventures, memories, and stories together, decided to join forces and run sailing charters out of Cape Town. Realizing how well they work together they made their way to the Virgin Islands 2 years ago for another adventure together.

It’s our second trip with Nikita and Gino and we're just making plans for next year but with both of them. They are so special that nothing will explain how nice they are. See you soon Lucas R.
If you’re looking for an amazing cruise with an exceptional captain and chef, stop looking — Gino and Kita are the crew you want. We spent eight unforgettable days aboard Changes in Latitude, and from start to finish, Gino and Kita made the experience relaxed, fun, safe, and truly special. Gino was an outstanding captain: knowledgeable, calm, flexible, and always focused on making sure we had the best possible trip. Kita was equally incredible, creating delicious meals that somehow got better every day and making everything feel warm and welcoming. Together, they were the perfect team — professional, personable, and attentive without ever making the trip feel over-planned. We left with great memories, full hearts, and full stomachs, and we would absolutely recommend Gino, Kita, and Changes in Latitude to anyone looking for a fantastic catamaran cruise in the BVI.
This was not our first charter. Changes in Latitudes was the nicest charter boat we have ever sailed on. I particularly, love the seating area in the bow. Many seating options so that people can choose their own space or be together. Gino and Nikita are the best crew we have ever had. They literally hit it out of the park! We had many planned activities, land spots to explore and snorkeling stops. Nikita’s meals were literally Michelin worthy! We felt we were dining in a fine restaurant. She is an incredible chef. The way she put foods together for both flavor and presentation was outstanding. Gino and Nikita are genuinely good people. They were both wonderful to my granddaughter, Elsie. Elsie celebrated her 7th birthday on the boat. The birthday day started at breakfast with decorations and a birthday tiara. The taxi driver blared a happy birthday song through his sound system. We went to The a pirate show at Leverick bay. Elsie won the conch blowing contest for her age group. The pirate and the audience sang Happy Birthday Elsie. And then back to the boat for a birthday dinner with cake. No ordinary cake, but a cake with whipped cream frosting and filling with lots of strawberries!
