Brandon grew up in a small town outside of Cape Town, South Africa where he spent his youth surfing, fishing, and playing sport. With his intense love for the ocean he longed for a way to spend his adult life on the water, that’s when he found the yachting industry.

He strives to give the best experiences on water toys as well as fishing. Saying this, if there are any edible fish lurking below the waterline, it's probably going to end up on the dinner table. Brandon speaks English and Afrikaans.
