With over 20 years of experience in the maritime industry, I am a senior yacht captain specialising in relief and interim command for super yachts. My career has spanned a wide range of vessels, from private luxury yachts to charter fleets, and I have developed a reputation for delivering calm leadership, operational continuity, and seamless crew transitions during critical periods.

I began my journey in yachting as a deckhand/Dive Instructor and worked my way up to captaincy, overseeing complex operations and ensuring that every aspect of a yacht’s running, from maintenance to guest services, is conducted at the highest level. My experience managing multi-national crews, handling refit projects, and delivering exceptional owner representation has made me a trusted figure in the industry.

For the last few years, I have been running a busy charter programme with Chasing Daylight, which has given me invaluable exposure to yacht operations at a high level. As I now transition into senior relief and interim command roles, I am focused on providing stability during transitions, refits, and crew changes, offering peace of mind to owners and managers during crucial moments.

Specializations:

• Interim command for senior-level yacht operations

• Owner representation, ensuring yacht programmes run smoothly and efficiently

• Crew transition management during periods of change or refit

• Refit and shipyard management, ensuring project timelines and operational standards are met

• Navigating high-pressure situations and ensuring operational continuity

• Chartering and Owner trips

I am currently available for short-term and long-term relief roles, and I am open to discussing how I can support your yacht operations during transitional periods or planned management changes.
