Crew Profile
Geoff & Iza are an outgoing British couple, who love the outdoors, the sea, the cruising life and meeting new friends.

Separately or together they have lived and worked in the Lebanon, Yemen Arab Republic, Seychelles, Kenya, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Dubai in the UAE.

Geoff has enjoyed a varied career in aviation, mostly in East Africa and Saudi Arabia. Assisted by Iza, he managed the creation of a new tourist seaplane service in Dubai during 2007.

Iza has always been a world traveler. She has managed businesses in the Yemen, worked as chef on a charter yacht in the Seychelles, managed exhibitions in London, run her own carpentry business in Kenya, taught information technology in Saudi Arabia and been involved in the creation of the Dubai airline.

Iza loves exploring, whether underwater or seeking that magical secluded bay or deserted island. Geoff and Iza are both PADI Rescue Divers.

Luckily for Geoff, if Iza's not underwater, out kayaking or beachcombing, she's enjoying her long-standing passion for what he calls, her “culinary artistic creations.” Iza’s menus are influenced by the many cultures she has experienced and she will pamper you, matching the tastes and preferences of each individual guest. She will often bake three times a day from fresh muffins in the morning, fresh loaves for lunch and a variety of dinner rolls. She uses locally available produce wherever possible to create delicious and healthy gourmet cuisine which looks as astounding as it tastes.

Geoff and Iza operated their catamaran Dreaming On for luxury crewed charters in the BVI for 5 years, then moved on to Belize for a change of scene. They fell in love with the islands of southern Belize, the phenomenal colours, the uncongested waters, and the chance to anchor at a different island every night and have the island to themselves.

So much so that they purchased and have been developing their own special piece of that paradise, Funk Caye, close to the main barrier reef. Funk Caye offers turquoise blue waters, fantastic snorkeling on the house reef all around the island, kayaking and paddle board opportunities. Nurse sharks regularly swim around under the island’s dock, and manatees have been sighted. Spotted Eagle Rays are permanent residents.

They now invite you to join them on board Dreaming On and share their knowledge and love of this quiet, unspoiled area.

Broker Notes T/A Commission = YES with 6 night minimum only. Excludes Christmas & New Years. Please inquire for 20% commission with T/A on < 6 night charters. Contracts: Yacht accepts the CYBA contract. Owner's Address for Contracts: Wild Orchid Marina Placencia, Belize BELIZE TAX: All rates are plus 10% tax. Please add and invoice separately on the contract (Belize legal requirement) There will be one dinner ashore at the clients expense during the charter period. No commission on sleep aboard or tax. CREW GRATUITY OPTION - this yacht accepts the following methods of payment: Cash, Paypal, personal checks. The US State Department has issued a Travel Advisory for Belize that in our opinion, requires some clarification. The Travel Advisory is copied below. Exercise increased caution in Belize due to crime. Some areas have increased risk. Please read the entire Travel Advisory. Country Summary: "Violent crime – such as sexual assault, home invasions, armed robberies, and murder – are common even during daylight hours and in tourist areas. A significant portion of violent crime is gang related. Due to high crime, travelers are advised to exercise caution while traveling to the south side of Belize City. Local police lack the resources and training to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. Most crimes remain unresolved and un prosecuted." Please advise any clients who are interested in chartering in Belize, that the Advisory is fairly clear in that it refers only to a small area to the south side and within the confines of Belize City. It does not imply a general advisory for the country south of Belize City, or in any other direction. Just as in most major cities around the world, there are areas that visitors just do not go. Belize CITY is no exception. It is unfortunate that Belize City, as the Country's original capital, retained the name Belize, as this warning can be misinterpreted and possibly scare visitors off from all of Belize which would be a great shame. In our view Belize as a whole remains a beautiful, safe, multi-cultural country full of smiles. The Placencia Peninsular in southern Belize, where we are based has always been very safe and is currently experiencing a real estate boom fueled primarily by Americans and Canadians who are looking for a safer, quieter, and perhaps less politically volatile life than possible back home. Placencia Village still manages to retain its charm as a small, safe. fishing village. All international flights into the country arrive at Belize City International Airport (BZE). Well outside the City and well away from any troubled areas. If traveling on to Placencia, then option one is to take a 25 minute shuttle flight to Placencia, (PLJ) from the same terminal. Another very pleasant alternative is to take the drive down from BZE to Placencia with one of our recommended drivers, either in Toyota or Nissan Minivan or a little upmarket in a very smart Chevy Suburban. The journey is 2.5 to 3 hours but takes visitors through some wonderful Belize scenery along the way. The drive also takes visitors well clear of Belize City. Belize continues to gain in popularity, particularly with visitors and investors from North America, with all international airlines either increasing frequency or opening new routes to Belize. Our cruising area in Southern Belize is possibly unique, in that we can offer an anchorage and a cay all to ourselves, every night. Unbelievable night skies on clear nights, being 10-15 miles from the mainland, away from any artificial light and still inside the country’s main and extraordinary Barrier Reef. Snorkeling opportunities abound. There are hundreds of reefs in the area to explore and on every charter we operate, we will try a new one. Where else can one snorkel round a whole island or an 8 mile reef and be the only snorkeling group in the water, hosted on board the only yacht in sight? After 8 years cruising the waters of the southern cays, we have not heard of any unpleasant or unsafe incidents with yachts.
