Chris started his now 40 year maritime career in the Royal Navy where he first spent more than ten years, before moving into the world of vessel trials as Navigator and subsequently Trials Master for a UK shipyard.
He started his career on Superyachts in the mid nineties as Chief Mate before becoming Master, and has since completed 3 new builds and been in command of a further 3 busy charter and private yachts as sole operational Captain.
Nowadays his focus is on relief and delivery roles for seagoing time (35 yacht relief/delivery jobs completed to date), and on build/refit projects.
He believes strongly in crew training and career development hence his involvement in the CHIRP Superyacht Maritime Advisory Board.
