Captain FC Lubbe (44) South African

Having parents that are avid deep-sea anglers, the ocean has never been a stranger to him. He received his provincial fishing colours at the age of 13. He gained his Skippers license at age 18 and skippered his father's ski boats over weekends for fishing tournaments and family days. He studied Business Management at Richtec College in Richard's Bay. Since then, he has built a stable international maritime career.
He started his maritime career onboard an MSC Cruise Ship in the Mediterranean at 19. Then, staying in touch with his fishing passion, he took up a Fishing guide position for five years in Dubai, where he often travelled to Muscat, Oman and The Maldives. During his time in Dubai, he discovered the yachting industry. FC did his Yacht Master License and started a seven-year-long career in 2010 with the Impulsive Group yachts onboard Impulsive Too, an 82-ft Sunseeker, and Impulsive, a 126-ft Norship. The yachts travelled to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and The Bahamas. FC discovered The Bahamas in 2012 onboard Impulsive Too, where he immediately fell in love with the Bahamian archipelago, culture and friendly nature of the Bahamian people.
He enjoys fishing, reading up on history and playing golf in his spare time.
FC's experience and ability will make your time onboard NEW LIFE safe and enjoyable.
