About
Captain with 20+ years in the yachting industry, bringing a strong operational background combined with a previous career as a yacht carpenter and builder. This hands-on foundation provides deep practical knowledge of restoration, repair, and build quality, which I actively share with crew who are keen to develop their technical skills and understanding of yacht maintenance. As Captain, I value mentoring and knowledge transfer, particularly in traditional and modern repair techniques, ensuring vessels are operated and maintained to a high professional standard. My goal is to sit my Master <3000 GT by year end and secure a long-term captaincy, committing to the next five years with a yacht where consistency, trust, and continuous improvement are valued.
