About me
I have been in the industry for 3 decades, cruising globally on a number of well known commercially registered yachts under charter. Early in 2011, I was head hunted for a specific role for a an Arabian Gulf Ruling Family’s global fleet of yachts, business interactions, management and negotiations which further enhanced my all round skill set beyond the normal duties of a Master. I have been on numerous build projects from inception to delivery and until the sale of my most recent command, (PAPA), I had been on board from the 2018/19 build though to the busy charter seasons across much of the globe. I made my home and raised my family in SE Asia and have been here for the past 24 years, I have cruised the South China Seas,Taiwan Straits, Andaman and Java seas extensively.
