David has 10 year’s experience sailing and working aboard vessels in the Caribbean as well as in the Mediterranean. He has over 35000nm under his belt as a Captain and loves to share his experience with all around him. The past Caribbean season was spent working aboard a prominent and successful catamaran with a full schedule of charters.

As a youth David spent time both in and on the water and has since taken to teaching various sailing courses all over the world. He enjoys sailing, water skiing, kite boarding and diving. David’s fun loving nature combined with his knowledge and extensive experience of life afloat make a perfect combination to spearhead a dream vacation with memories to last a lifetime!
