His experience in superyachts has taken him around the traditional Mediterranean / Caribbean / Newport circuit but also to far flung places like the Amazon delta, Easter Island and the NZ sub-Antarctic islands.His strong safety focus has allowed him to sail over 200,000 nautical miles worldwide without incident and holds the safety of guest and crew foremost – but also while having fun and encouraging a co-operative team spirit. He loves sharing his love for sailing and the ocean with guests on board.
When he's not working you will find him sailing on his own high performance catamaran somewhere around the Pacific.
