OUR STORY
Panache is gay owned and operated.
Both Gideon and Brett have done extensive sailing. Their sailing careers began 30 years ago on the East coast of Africa on their first boat, a catamaran called Privilege. Having cut their teeth in what is known as the most difficult sailing ocean in the world, the Mozambique channel and having wonderful experiences of uninhabited beautiful islands off Mozambique and Tanzania, Gideon and Brett decided to sell their business and go cruising. They bought Panache and headed into a life filled with thrills and adventure.
2012 saw Brett and Gideon leave Cape Town South Africa, for the Atlantic crossing over to South America, where they cruised the Brazillian coast and French islands up to the Caribbean. Well hooked in the cruising life style and addicted to the beautiful islands they headed for the Bahamas, which they have both fallen in love with. They have been cruising the Bahama Islands now for 3 years so are very familiar with the area. The Bahamas has something to offer everyone!
