OUR STORY
OUR SERVICES
Water, Boats, Passion
​
As both an Olympic sailor and circumnavigator, I thought it was time to share my love and extensive knowledge of boating, including sail boats, and large power yachts with others with a similar passion. Having recently returned from a world circumnavigation in 2018, I wasn't ready to end my boating lifestyle just yet.
​
I love to share my passion for boating and the cruising life with others. I can help advise you on what type of boat and equipment may best match your cruising goals. I can teach you either power or sailing on your boat, and I can share my extensive knowledge of what it takes to go cruising, whether it is a year-long sabbatical, or a full circumnavigation. I can teach you the systems on your boat, how to install them and how to fix them. I've learnt a thing or two: let me share it with you!
​
General Consulting
Together with my construction and engineering background, over 20 years of Senior level management experience in the corporate world, responsible for annual NOI budgets of $95 million, and decades of experience working with high net worth VIP customers, I will ensure that what ever project I undertake, will be well thought out and executed correctly the first time around. Let me assist you in planning a project or with your yacht management needs.
Deliveries and Marine Consulting
​
Deliveries: Have a boat you need to get from A to B? You've come to the right place! I'm a USCG Certified Master 100 ton Captain with over 150,000 miles under my keel. Your boat delivery will be in excellent hands. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is so applicable when it comes to needing an experienced delivery Captain & Crew. Experience is truly more important than any Captains license, which is relatively easy to obtain.
​
Boating & Cruising Coach: Let me be your personal Boating & Cruising Coach and help bring your cruising dream closer to reality. By using my knowledge and experience you can save both time and money and zero in on the important things from the start. Check out our Marine Consulting tab to see how I can help.
Vessel Inspection & Preventative Maintenance: I personally do the detailed vessel inspections, that can be done on a one-off basis prior to a long trip, or getting the vessel ready to sell, or before paying for a full survey.
In addition I do these inspections & basic preventative maintenance, for owners on a monthly basis to keep their vessel in top shape. By using my knowledge and experience and connections I can save both time and money.
