Introduction
I am a Captain and Project Manager, with over 23 years experience and a proven track record in building, delivering and
commanding, award winning large yacht projects.
This combined with extensive experience of refitting older vessels has given me all the necessary skills to manage any
aspect of a large yacht project. Motor or Sail, from the earliest concept, through successful completion of warranty and
many flawless years of cruising.
I have always had a keen interest in design and I strive to create vessels that are beautiful, both aesthetically and
practically. A well thought out and managed vessel, is a safer, more efficient and more harmonious environment for
Guests and Crew. Resulting in greater long-term crew stability, lower maintenance costs and a happier ownership
experience.
I believe achieving a positive experience is a large part in developing and maintaining the long-term value of a Yacht for
an Owner. I work hard to develop that value and reputation through professionalism and excellence in every aspect of the
vessel.
My Crew and I have an excellent reputation within the charter world and we bring that level of service and skill to all our
operations of the vessel, whether Private or Commercial. Using our extensive knowledge of the business and cruising
areas to provide the very best in yachting. I am sure I can make an Owner’s experience of their dream yacht, a rewarding
and enjoyable process for many years to come.

2. March 2012 – August 2015
Project Manager/ Captain – M/Y ARIANNA, Delta Marine 49.9m(164ft)
I was hired to complete the build of this full displacement 50m from Delta
Marine and get her functioning with minimal crew turnover. Part of the brief was
to help promote the vessel while developing a charter program to offset running
costs. Featured to date in over 136 publications, Arianna has been extensively
chartered throughout the US East Coast, Bahamas and Caribbean. Gaining a
superb reputation with a list of very high quality Clients.
The charter program has been so successful that the vessel has covered the
majority of ownership expenses. Additionally the vessel has been used for
extensive promotion of the Owner’s Businesses. Regularly hosting parties of 100
– 200 guests. All of the vessel chartering and promotion has been achieved by
direct marketing through the Owner’s Family Office with myself playing a key
role in that strategy.
October 2007 – January 2012
Project Manager/Captain M/Y SATORI, Heesen 49.8m (164ft) and M/Y
SKY, Heesen 50.5m (167ft)
Over a period of 4 years I Project Managed and Captained, the two most cutting
edge and design oriented yachts Heesen Yachts had built at that time. I was
extensively involved in all aspects of these vessels from concept through
purchase and design, planning and construction, to final delivery.
M/Y SKY represented a huge leap forward for Heesen in design and
customization. I was integral in helping turn the concepts of a first time Owner
and first time Yacht Interior Designer into a usable reality. I thoroughly refined
and upgraded the original Build Specification and Design to produce a practical,
beautiful and state of the art worldwide cruising vessel.
M/Y SATORI has since handover in May 2011 been featured on 37 Magazine
Front Covers around the world. In large part based upon a photoshoot and
promotion strategy I devised. Additionally, she has received 7 major design
awards including the WORLD SUPERYACHT AWARD for Best 50m, the
MONACO BOAT SHOW ‘Prix du Design’ and the YACHTS FRANCE award
for Best 50m and Best Interior. In a year when Heesen launched 6 vessels,
SATORI was the only yacht to launch on time and subsequently completed a
flawless 23 week Summer Season. Please see www.yachtsatori.com
