CAPTAIN ADRIAN
Cape Town, South Africa, is where Captain Adrian was born and raised, and he spent most of his childhood playing in the ocean. He says that he has always had a connection with water. He enjoys racing Hobie Cats, and he wakesurfs on lakes. He also enjoys free diving in the sea and fly fishing in mountain streams. His passion for sailing made him skip the traditional university path and instead go for the RYA Yacht Master certification.
When Adrian worked in the superyacht industry, he wanted to feel more connected to the sea. He began captaining catamarans in the Mediterranean. He soon became the Route Manager, which involved the management of up to 80 vessels, 800 guests, and 160 crew each week. In search of new experiences, Adrian sailed to the Caribbean. He decided that the clear waters and the colorful marine life of the Virgin Islands were beautiful.
Altogether, Adrian has over 9 years’ experience and 30,000 nautical miles under his belt, and he loves to share his knowledge with guests. Adrian wants to make your charter experience perfect. You can have fun at the Soggy Dollar Bar or relax on Guana’s calm shores. He pays attention to both the up and downstream activities.
