With over 20 years’ experience as a captain on private and charter yachts travelling across the globe I bring both versatility and professionalism to any position I undertake.
My experience ensures that safety operations and protocols, crew management, operational and technical management of the boat, maritime compliance and charter management combine to offer and exceed owners and guests expectations.

demoEmployment history

July 2006 – present
M/Y Sunliner X - 120 feet – 209 tons
Commercial charter and private usage
Captain/Manager

I have rebuilt the charter reputation on Sunliner X from being nonexistent to being a very successful well known high turn around charter vessel placed with a variety of charter brokers. I have successfully seen through to completion extensive refits on the vessel on both exterior and interior. This included main engines, generators, stabilizers, bow thruster, structural refits and three special periodical surveys under the ABS class. During my 17 years on board I have developed a stable and close working relationship with the owner ensuring I fully deliver their expectations.
