About Me
I am Captain Shane Reid
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 66 meters. Throughout my career I have provided exceptional owner and charter experiences, efficiently managed successful shipyard projects, and demonstrated longevity with owners and crew. I am currently available for relief work or a full-time rotational position.
Thank you for visiting my website.
Client’s Recommendation
“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!

“Excellent. Professional. Captain Reid has held himself and his crew to the highest standards. Operates vessels at the highest standards of safety and good seamanship.”
“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.”
“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.”
She felt that each and every one of you were deeply committed to them having a good time. The food was excellent, and the home-baked croissants were the best ever. The service was beyond their expectations, and she appreciated how the crew took her party ideas and created gala events out of them. They were dazzled by the detail of your themes and the beauty of the different table settings at every meal.
They loved the yacht, of course, but she just kept repeating that it’s all about the crew. The array of toys was a big hit with the group. She appreciated the care that you took with itinerary planning and the ideas that you came up with for shoreside entertainment.
She is sending me a copy of the video that you made for them - this made a huge impression on them, and she’s already shown it a dozen times.
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!
