Crew Information

Image of crew for Dreaming On

Geoff & Iza are an outgoing British couple, who love the outdoors, the sea, the cruising life and meeting new friends.

Separately or together they have lived and worked in the Lebanon, Yemen Arab Republic, Seychelles, Kenya, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Dubai in the UAE.

Geoff has enjoyed a varied career in aviation, mostly in East Africa and Saudi Arabia. Assisted by Iza, he managed the creation of a new tourist seaplane service in Dubai during 2007.

Iza has always been a world traveler. She has managed businesses in the Yemen, worked as chef on a charter yacht in the Seychelles, managed exhibitions in London, run her own carpentry business in Kenya, taught information technology in Saudi Arabia and been involved in the creation of the Dubai airline.

Iza loves exploring, whether underwater or seeking that magical secluded bay or deserted island. Geoff and Iza are both PADI Rescue Divers.

Luckily for Geoff, if Iza's not underwater, out kayaking or beachcombing, she's enjoying her long-standing passion for what he calls, her “culinary artistic creations.” Iza’s menus are influenced by the many cultures she has experienced and she will pamper you, matching the tastes and preferences of each individual guest. She will often bake three times a day from fresh muffins in the morning, fresh loaves for lunch and a variety of dinner rolls. She uses locally available produce wherever possible to create delicious and healthy gourmet cuisine which looks as astounding as it tastes.

Geoff and Iza operated their catamaran Dreaming On for luxury crewed charters in the BVI for 5 years, then moved on to Belize for a change of scene. They fell in love with the islands of southern Belize, the phenomenal colours, the uncongested waters, and the chance to anchor at a different island every night and have the island to themselves.

So much so that they purchased and have been developing their own special piece of that paradise, Funk Caye, close to the main barrier reef. Funk Caye offers turquoise blue waters, fantastic snorkeling on the house reef all around the island, kayaking and paddle board opportunities. Nurse sharks regularly swim around under the island’s dock, and manatees have been sighted. Spotted Eagle Rays are permanent residents.

They now invite you to join them on board Dreaming On and share their knowledge and love of this quiet, unspoiled area.

Thank you for an unbelievable experience from the get-go.

From meals to snorkelling, our week with you brought much needed fun, relaxation, laughs and full stomachs.

We will leave Belize with many more stories and a strong urge to come back to Dreaming On.

Beyond the boat, the meals and sights, you both were amazing and fascinating to chat with.

Thank you and happy sailing. The Wells Family, Chris and Jessica

Thank you too so much for a wonderful time! I can’t imagine finding another wonderful trip like this one. You guys are amazing. Best wishes to the both of you. Robin Joyce.

What a unique and fabulous experience!

Thank you for an amazing week!! So much amazing snorkelling, swimming, diving, eating etc.

We loved every minute of being on Dreaming On with you both. The food and meals were absolutely delicious.

Loved all the snorkelling – so fun to see so many fish and sea creatures, and then to come back to the boat to try and identify them.

Thanks for making Gary’s 60th birthday celebration so special!

Loved the stuff at Moho Caye. What a beautiful spot.

Thanks for being consummate hosts on your catamaran in the Belizean cays.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet again.

Geoff and Iza

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us over this New Year’s week. These memories will last, especially for the kids.

We loved staying at Funk Caye. The snorkelling was the best we have ever experienced. Catching conch and lobster was an exciting and productive task. Even though the permit didn’t find my line, I’ll chase them again so they can cause my heart rate to shoot up!

We appreciate most your service and attentiveness to needs of others – always surprising us with all the extras which we definitely noticed. The food, preparation and presentation goes without saying! We ate like Kings and Queens, thank you for your excellence.

This trip was finalized only a few months ago but we are so happy we were able to spend this week in Paradise with you both to celebrate the New Year.

We look forward to many great things for you two this year, and we won’t say “goodbye” but only “Until we meet again!”

Wonderful Time

Iza and Geoff,

It’s hard to say goodbye, so we will say “Until next time”, because we know we will be back.

We loved our “Thanksgiving” family vacation with you. Everything was amazing! The food – Iza, we don’t know how you do it – we can’t even imagine how you come up with all the delicious food.

Our Thanksgiving traditional meal was beyond expectations. As a family, we cannot decide what was the best, as all of it was superb!!

Geoff, your knowledge of the islands and Belize was enjoyable to listen to. Your stories are interesting and kept us entertained. The sailing was great, and your islands were absolutely stunning. Glad we got to see them and enjoy.

This was a trip of a lifetime, and we are grateful it was with y’all.

Until next time.

We truly enjoyed this adventure and will remember it always. Thank you for making us all feel at home in your home. We enjoyed learning some history and visiting places we may never see again. Beautiful oasis to explore.

Safe travel to you always and best of luck in future endeavours.

July 2022

Thank you, Geoff, and Iza

This was our first time in Belize and first-time sailing; and you made it a wonderful experience! We had an entire season of experiences and enjoyment in a mere four days…. It was beyond expectations.

It was a treasure to see so much of the reef and sea – and we enjoyed each of the cays especially Driftwood and Funk Caye. The wildlife was far more plentiful than the crowds (which is how we like it).

We’ll always remember the soaring frigates and the plunging pelicans as well as the eagle ray that leapt past us while snorkelling…. Not to forget the massive, odd thing we saw swimming at Driftwood which was likely a cobia (or sea monster…the jury is still out).

Kayaking and SUP was great – as the weather could not have been better…. Even the night time squalls were an interesting experience. Visiting King Lewey Island and Ray Cay were great ideas – the family enjoyed seeing them.

The yacht was a superb “Home Away from Home”-and met our every need.

While we enjoyed every moment, our favourite time was simply sitting together as a family on the bow, cruising and watching the sea – and stargazing in the evening and enjoying conversation in the cockpit.

We can’t say enough about the food Iza! Every meal was stunning and better than the best restaurants we’ve tried – we love great food, and you exceeded every expectation! Thank you for the Anniversary cake.

Thank you both for your care and patience, focus on ensuring our comfort and for exposing us to this amazing life.

Dear Geoff and Iza

Thank you so much for your hospitality, for sharing your local knowledge of reefs and tiny islands. This is the best snorkeling we have experienced in many years!

It was relaxing and decadent to be on the ‘other side’ of chartering, to be receiving the pampering vs giving. Thank you also for indulging our ‘conch massacre’. But most of all, thank you for the incredible food, it was all picture perfect and delicious!

You two are gems.

Perfect weather – Fabulous meals – Attentive host

Where to start…..

What a trip!! I was leery of sleeping overnight on a sailing boat, but after the first night, all fears were allayed.

How to describe this trip? Peaceful; Scenic does not describe the views, blue on blue; Perfect weather; Fabulous meals; Attentive hosts; Perhaps the crème de la crème was the conversation.

You are both well-travelled, full of fascinating adventures and exceptional at storytelling.

You are both vibrant, happy and very engaging. Fabulous gift you have given me. Much love for the memories.

Comfortable, relaxed, competent, knowledgeable, chatty and quiet in perfect measure.

Gourmet food and stunning locales.

I have never slept or relaxed so deeply!

 

May 2022 – Alberta, Canada

Thank you so much for giving us a fantastic trip

You’ve made our days with you unforgettable. We loved every single moment and will cherish them for a loooooong time. Your welcoming and your patience are as wonderful as the sailing courses and the food.

Thank you so much for giving us a fantastic trip. We enjoyed hearing all the stories and merci Iza pour celle cuisine digne d’un chef Francais and always taking the time with everything you did.

We’ll be back. A bientôt.

We can only dream of coming back for longer

Dear Geoff and Iza

After two nights on Dreaming On, we can only dream of coming back for longer! Thank you for the amazing meals, ongoing patience in the endless provision of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel equipment, snacks, drinks…..the list is endless.

We had a wonderful time and were just getting used to life on the seas.

The beach, the sea and a beautiful boat. I wish we could have stayed longer but can’t wish for everything. Matilda (10)

I really liked the snorkeling in the coral reef and kayaking to other islands. I had a really good time. Thank you. Ronnie (9)

Thank you again.

This was an amazing and beautiful adventure for our family

Dear Geoff and Iza

This was an amazing and beautiful adventure for our family! The six of us had such a special time together. Your hospitality and entertaining are superb. And the food! Wow! Not only was it delicious but beautiful!

We enjoyed learning about Belize, the boat and your exciting life. You really need to write a book.

Thank you for opening your home to us. We hope to come back soon for more fun and, until then, we will keep Dreaming On!

 

March 2022

What a fantastic week on the water!
Where to begin? Geoff & Iza are super knowledgeable about all the islands and waters around Placencia (and more), great sailors, fun to hang out with, inspiring to chat with, and all round incredible hosts! Our three teenagers (and the parents) couldn’t get enough of the fresh baked bread and muffins every day, and we couldn’t believe the incredible meals that Iza was able to cook up for 7 consecutive days out on the water. Geoff & Iza accommodated all of our itinerary requests easily, suggested great options to explore, and the boat had everything we needed from snorkeling gear to reef safe sunscreen to paddle boards and kayaks. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough!
Memories for life on DREAMING ON!!!!
My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a family vacation to Belize which included 5 days on Dreaming On. Not sure exactly what I expected however, what we received was beyond words! Geoff and Iza were amazing hosts allowing our family to be a part of their home on the water. The food was 5 stars. Our two children, along with their significant others, have not stopped talking about their experience and new friends Geoff and Iza. So many incredible days of snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding and peaceful star filled evenings. Geoff makes awesome cocktails to accommodate Iza’s top notch cuisine. We loved our time with them and left feeling we had made friends for life. Highly recommend a getaway with Dreaming On.
Christmas 2021

Iza and Geoff

Thank you for your hospitality during our Christmas holiday. It was a magical trip that our family will remember for years to come.

Iza – your meals were star quality and better than a five-star restaurant. We appreciate you catering to our vegan and non-vegan needs. We are looking forward to making your recipes at home.

Geoff – Thank you for the snorkeling tips and island guide. We enjoyed visiting Funk Caye and Driftwood Caye to experience “island life”.

Most of all, we appreciate your gracious hospitality and company. It has been a pleasure to be your guest on Dreaming On.

All our best

Jean Marie
