LEGASEA

Captain Louis Conradie, a native of Durban’s Bluff on South Africa’s East Coast, exudes a friendly and outgoing personality that draws people in. With a lifelong love for the sea and a passion for entertaining and connecting with others, Louis embodies the adventurous spirit of a true seafarer. Louis’ journey with the ocean began at a young age, dedicating his free time to surfing, scuba diving, windsurfing, and sailing. By the age of 17, his determination and passion led him to co-own a 27-foot yacht—a pivotal milestone that marked the start of his sailing career. Since then, Louis has amassed countless nautical miles, honing his craft and gaining extensive knowledge of sailing and boating across South Africa’s diverse ports.

Tersia Conradie grew up in sunny Johannesburg, South Africa, where she cultivated a love for connection and creativity. After completing her senior certificate, she earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance from RA University. However, after years in the corporate world, Tersia discovered that her true passion lay not in numbers, but in people—and in creating memorable experiences for them. Her love for socializing and the culinary arts inspired Tersia to leave the corporate sector and open a restaurant, where she thrived as a hostess and chef, combining her flair for entertaining with her talent for preparing exceptional dishes. Meeting her husband, Louis, on a sailing holiday further sparked her love for the ocean, which became the foundation for their shared adventures in yachting and chartering.
