Crew

A STRONG TEAM, A FAMILY AND THE SEA
Since 1978 Florette is owned by our family. We, the Haynes family, form the regular crew with 3-4 additional crew members.
We navigate the Mediterranean Sea and love to share our experience and our know-how.
Allow us to entrap you in the time of the old windjammer – you won’t regret it.
Master and Owner  Ron Haynes(JR)
Captain Rony Haynes grew up on the ship and came on board when he was 6 days old. He learnt the old sea craft on the Florette from his childhood from his father. It was followed by a school education, craftsman apprenticeship in Germany and the captains’ training in Germany, Italy, France & Malta. Since 1999 he has taken over the captain’s position and thus the leadership from his father and since then sails on the brigantine Florette with his family as the 2nd generation. Great expertise and knowledge of waters makes your stay a safe and special experience. Rony is half Bavarian, half English - he also speaks Italian fluently
