About Us
You do not have to be an experienced sailor to enjoy sailing aboard Horta.
The Dutch Captain Harm Brink (1956) and his Dutch wife Lizzy (1959) and the ship’s cat, Zwerver (2003) ensure you of a safe cruise. 
Since the age of 8, Harm has been sailing in everything that even resembles a sailboat. From 1985 Harm and Lizzy began sailing together and have made trips from Holland to Denmark, Germany, England, France, and Croatia.
In 2002 they decided to sail Horta in the Caribbean and since then have lived full time aboard Horta. In 2003 the ship's cat, Zwerver, was added to the crew.
Because Harm is a Master Mechanic he maintains Horta in pristine sailing condition. Lizzy takes care of all living comforts as well as creating her tropical culinary delights three times a day that continually surprise and gratify their passengers.
Both Harm and Lizzy continually maintain Horta when they are between guest passengers so Horta is always ship-shape. Both Harm and Lizzy take turns at the helm whenever they are underway so they retain their routine of navigation, position plotting, and radar reading.
Because Harm and Lizzy have been sailing the Caribbean for 7 years they know exactly what every island has to offer to make your holiday a dream come true.
