Hello and Welcome!
I am a professional yacht captain with 16+ years of experience with successful private and charter programs for vessels ranging from 40 meters to 60+ meters. Throughout my career I have provided exceptional owner and charter experiences, efficiently managed successful shipyard projects, and demonstrated longevity with owners and crew.
Thank you for visiting my website.

Hi Shane,
WOW! I just got off the phone with Karen who was crying (with joy) as she shared memories of her trip on Rhino “It was so wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of it. We fell madly in love with the crew. They were remarkable.”
They loved the yacht, of course, but she just kept repeating that it’s all about the crew. She appreciated the care that you took with itinerary planning and the ideas that you came up with for shore-side entertainment.
Thank you again for being so tuned in to their needs and delivering a flawless charter. As she said, you blew it out of the park!

Dear Capt. Shane,
Nowhere on the seven seas is there anyone better than you! South Africa is known for its fine gems, and of course, it gave us Shane Reid! Thank you for a wonderful week, and I know we will see you again soon!
Ahoy!
Rick – charter client
Most impressive, is Shane’s innate problem-solving ability – he is able to remain calm with methodical analysis of each situation, and acts with a modest self-confidence both tactfully and quickly. He has also been complimented on his economy-conscious spending of the owner’s and charter client’s money.
