CLOUDBREAK ヨットチャーター

Jeremy (Jerry) was born and grew up in South Africa and after working as a professional lifeguard and paramedic, served as an army officer for five years, before looking to the yachting industry to fund his dream of becoming a commercial light aircraft (bush) pilot in Africa. Nearly 30 years on, he still only flies in the back of aircraft, but has 20 years of experience as a super yacht captain.

His career on yachts was largely sailing yacht based, until switching to motor yachts in 2013 to experience the other side. Jerry has been involved in all aspects of the industry; from remote cruising in far flung destinations (his favourite) to the more popular cruising grounds; to refit and rebuild projects and overseeing the build of two 90+m new yachts.

Along the way, he met his wife and chose to settle in Somerset in the U.K., where they live with their three children. He still loves to explore and introduce owners and guests to new and exciting cruising destinations and considers Cloudbreak the perfect yacht on which to do so.

Bradley was born and grew up in South Africa. After finishing school, he furthered his education by obtaining a journalism degree and joined yachting with the idea of combining the two disciplines.

Interest in the superyacht world led Bradley to obtain his Maters certification at the end of 2022. Bradley has been fortunate enough to fulfil his passion for travel and sail in areas ranging from the Caribbean to the Arctic, deep into the heart of Russia and the Middle East. Bradley enjoys venturing into lesser-explored areas with a passion for capturing the adventure.

Bradley grew up racing off-road motorbikes, mountain biking and has a keen interest in motorsport. Bradley has lived at the coast his whole life and enjoys a variety of water sports, especially kite surfing and surfing. He also scuba dives, free dives and in his
downtime watches rugby, cricket and documentaries.

Kurtis was brought up in the South West of England near the quaint city of Bath. He found his love for the water onboard small family boats, and whilst working as a canoe and kayak instructor.

Kurtis joined the yachting industry in 2013, became an Officer in 2017 and most recently passed his Master of Yachts 3000gt in early 2024. During this time he has extensively cruised areas such as the Mediterranean, Pacific, Caribbean, Asia and Bahamas.

When not onboard you will often find Kurtis travelling to remote locations on the hunt for quiet waves to surf, spending time with friends and family or renovating classic cars and bikes.

Gareth was born in a small town near Cape Town and spent most of his childhood growing up along the coast where he picked up numerous water sports and became a qualified lifeguard.

His passions include snowboarding, scuba diving ,photography and videography.

When he is not in the mountains, he’s either on or under the water and can always be found with a camera in hand. After graduating from university in 2014, he joined the yachting industry and hasn’t looked back since, always enjoying new adventures under the sun and pushing himself outside of his comfort zone.

Braydan grew up predominantly in the UK but also spent some time living in Switzerland, where he learned to speak French.

Before starting his yachting career, he worked in high-end hospitality between the mountains and the coast, focusing on skiing and watersports.

He began working on yachts at age 19 and has chased opportunities for adventure and sports, traveling all over to film wildlife encounters. Over the past few years, he has had the privilege of shooting alongside wildlife experts and freediving with various marine life, such as tiger, bull, and hammerhead sharks, humpback and sperm whales, Galapagos
penguins, dolphins, and pelagic fish.

Braydan has his Chief Mates certification and wants to complete a Master’s qualification in the coming years.
