SEAHOME II Yacht Charter Catamaran

When you think energy, fun, activities and service with a smile — he is your guy. On the ocean he has worked in South Africa, Indonesia, Maldives, Seychelles, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, France, Italy, Montenegro and the Bahamas, USA and the Caribbean. With a passion for all things water, practicing scuba diving, spear fishing and surfing — his skills go beyond just being a Captain. As an ex-semi-professional snowboarder, circus performer, and with qualifications as a sailing, ski, snowboard, wakeboard, Dive Master and surf instructor — he can offer an array of skills and energy to your vessel, full of learning and adventure. If waves and action isn’t your forte, and you looking forward to a relaxed, stressed free vacation, Captain Andrew has your back — having worked in hospitality in Japan, China, Cape Town and Lesotho, (can speak some Japanese), he is well versed in the meaning of guest experience, and will make sure all your needs are more than satisfied. Relaxing is great and all, but hey if you are looking for a bit of a party, Andrew trained by his cousin (who came second in cocktail making in London) can whip you up an incredible Cocktail — his favourite is a Margarita with a twist. Family and kids are the most important thing on holidays, Andrew worked as an au pair for 3 years while studying, he is super good with kids, always making sure they are having fun and are safe. As you can see theres very little he cannot do, some may say that he can’t dance, but he likes to disagree.
