TOHORA Privatyacht

I love sharing my passion for the ocean with new guests and I love the adventure yachting encompasses and the variety of people I am able to meet.

I moved to the Isle of Wight and got my RYA Yacht Master Ocean so I could work full time in the yachting industry. After, I worked two charter seasons in the Mediterranean on a 130 ft motorboat. I was employed as deckhand/2nd engineer. We covered all sailing areas from the South of France to Italy and Greece.

After this I joined a privately owned 82 ft Oyster as the mate for a trip from Antigua, West Indies, to New Zealand with the owners onboard. Once we arrived in New Zealand I became captain of the vessel and did two years of sailing between the Caribbean and New England. Once the Oyster sold, I moved on to a new project with the same owner.

I followed the build of his new boat, Tohora, and have been looking after her since she was built in France. We departed in January 2013 for a 20,000 mile journey from France to Australia via Panama and the Pacific. After the Pacific we relocated back to the Caribbean and New England area. I have accumulated more than 40,000 miles on Tohora and she has been my home/work place for more than 5 years.

Over my decade at sea on different boats I can definitely say the Tohora is the best vessel to enjoy a week of holiday with friends and family. The open layout and convenience of the boat make it perfect for day sails and dinners. There's nothing like a night cap on the nets under the stars.
