YM(Ocean) Sail and Power with Commercial Endorsements: 280,000+nm for deliveries or relief/interim Skipper roles.

Experienced and reliable Skipper/Captain available for long and short term positions; sometimes available at short notice.

I've spent a fair amount of my life at sea on vessels of all shapes and sizes, with professional crews, families, guests and owners. Previous voyages include Whitbread Race circumnavigation in a carbon maxi, expedition sailing to Arctic and Antarctic waters and command of 25m sail training vessels. As a yacht owner myself (a 50' classic sloop) I understand taking good care of your vessel. Previous deliveries include superyachts to, from and within the Mediterranean and, at the other end of the spectrum, 24 footers on coastal relocations.

I purchased my own yacht in Hawaii and brought her back to Europe. My log includes 15 transatlantic voyages and passages in most of the world's oceans. Now, with more time on my hands, I’m happy to help with selective deliveries or passages - with or without owners and their own crew. I can afford to pick and choose and would want it to be right for you and me.

Fully documented with YM(Ocean)/Master 200 GRT and commercial endorsement since 1989, Seaman's ID and Discharge Book . I am happy to pass on my experience or simply be there quietly in the background for reassurance. I have a small team of likeminded and similarly careful and vetted crew I can bring with me if required. I’ll deliver anywhere and at any time and am used to difficult passages. I'm personable, fun, easy going, open minded, non-judgmental, don't shout, am calm in a crisis and haven't yet found a problem I haven't been able to resolve one way or another at sea. My only caveat is to ask that the final decision of whether it is safe to sail or not lies ultimately with me although I'll always take great trouble to explain why I feel a delay or change of plan might be advisable. I’ll take the utmost care of you, your yacht, guests and all crew - yours or mine.

Please note that before departure as Skipper I will need to be reassured that the vessel owner has clear title, the vessel is adequately maintained, insured and equipped with essential safety equipment commensurate with the intended itinerary and in possession of a current ship’s Registration document (original), radio license and MMSI number. I will also seek a signed confirmation from the owner that the vessel contains no contraband of any nature. These provisions are not intended to be a burden; merely the sensible precautions you should expect from any reliable delivery/interim or relief skipper.
