Graduating with a Law degree from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2015, he swiftly transitioned into the yachting industry. His career highlights include roles such as Chief Officer on M/Y Ciao (50m) and 1st Mate on M/Y Attitude (47m). He has also served as Bosun on M/Y Samurai (60m) and Deckhand on S/Y Sarissa (42m).

WHAT IS YOUR YACHTING BACKGROUND? WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THIS INDUSTRY?
“One of my most exciting experiences was sailing across the Atlantic on the beautiful 55m sailing yacht, Adela. The yacht dated back to 1903, before being restored and relaunched in 1995. I’ve been very privileged to have been a part of various great yachting programs over my career, learning from various mentors along the way. What began as a chance to travel the world and meet inspiring people, quickly turned into a passionate pursuit to excel within a competitive industry and Captain my very own vessel.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES AND INTERESTS?
“My passions lie in the sport of golf. My fiancé, Kerri and I always stay active and fit by finding the nearest gym to train at or trail to run. I’m an avid stand-up comedy fan and love an intellectually stimulating conversation.

Without hesitation, I join him but found out that we would be working on separate boats in different countries. With hard work and dedication, we eventually found each other on the same boat and never looked back.”

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES AND INTERESTS?

WHAT IS YOUR YACHTING BACKGROUND? WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THIS INDUSTRY?
“My formative journey at the age of 16 was in Ibiza, Spain aboard M/Y Gemini.

My father is a Chief Engineer on a private yacht and my older sister has already established herself in the industry, providing exposure to the maritime world”

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.
Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.
Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.

Why rely on BeBlue?
