REFLECTIONS CY

CAPTAIN HANNS SCHNEIDER
Hanns was born in Switzerland and brought up in the south of Spain by a German father and a Colombian mother. Fluent in German, Spanish, and English, his love for sailing began at an early age, working in his hometown of Sotogrande where he cared for, washed, and maintained boats during the summer holidays. At just 19, Hanns began his professional maritime career, taking his first job aboard a 62m motor yacht. Over the next four years, he traveled the Mediterranean, all while studying for his maritime licenses. By 2005, Hanns had earned his first captain’s position.

Since then Hanns worked as a Captain around both the Mediterranean and Caribbean, managing both sail and motor yachts. His passion for the sea has led him to complete six Atlantic crossings, including the renowned Cape to Rio Yacht Race in 2020.

As the captain of Reflections, Hanns brings a wealth of experience and a natural leadership style, ensuring his crew is professional, skilled, and ready to deliver unforgettable experiences. His easy-going personality, combined with a genuine enthusiasm for sailing, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests, where safety and comfort are always top priorities. Alongside his Chief Stewardess partner, he offers clients a seamless, luxury charter experience, ensuring that each voyage is as enjoyable as it is safe—from the first moment onboard to the journey’s end.

Captain Hanns has been onboard REFLECTIONS since September 2024.


CHIEF STEWARDESS ANNETTE FIELDER
Annette’s love for sailing began during a childhood trip on a Southern Germany lake, leading her to volunteer as an Optimist sailing teacher and earn her Coastal Skipper certificate at only 16 in the Baltic Sea.

In 2006, Annette embraced an opportunity to participate in the 32nd America’s Cup in Spain as part of the marketing team of “Team Shosholoza” driving their tender. Returning back to land and after eight years gaining hospitality and managerial experience in London, UK she returned to Sea in 2016 as a tender driver and deckhand in the Caribbean. However her culinary talent led her to transition into the galley, where she spent four rewarding years preparing exquisite meals on charter yachts up to 90 feet.

When in 2021 Annette’s path crossed with Captain Hanns, Annette shifted her focus to guest service and housekeeping, evolving into her current role as Chief Stewardess three years ago. Her extensive skill set includes silver service, fine dining, and mixology, all complemented by her genuine passion for serving others, flair and eye for detail. With her relaxing attitude and dedication to creating memorable experiences, Annette plays a vital role in ensuring that guests aboard MY Reflections enjoy an exceptional Charter.

STEWARDESS CALLIE
Born and raised in South Africa and alongside diverse community and cultures is what sparked Callie's interest to experience all that world has to offer. Prior to yachting, Callie had experienced a more formal and corporate environment as a Finance Recruiter.

Throughout travelling her own country as well as the United Kingdom, Callie has been bitten by the travel bug. With there being a large presence of yachting in South Africa's coastal areas, this definitely made the transition from corporate to yachting a lot easier.

The active and fast paced nature of yachting suits Callie's busy mind and energy levels. Being new to the industry Callie is ready to make memories and give everyone the best service with a smile on board Reflections!

Callie joined the REFLECTIONS team in April 2024.
