Andre grew up in South Africa and spent most of his youth in Durban and Richards Bay. With both of these cities being along the Indian Ocean, his passion for the water came early. In 2000, Andre sailed from South Africa to the Caribbean, where he decided to settle for a few years to start his yachting career. Here he worked on day charter yachts and ferry boats before leaving for the UK in 2003 to complete his Captains License. Since then, he has been on numerous motor and sailing yachts as an Engineer, First Mate, and Captain since 2005. Prior to entering the yachting industry, Andre worked as a Logistics coordinator in Richards Bay.
Andre has now done ten years on charter boats with eight of them being as Captain. He carries great knowledge of the areas they charter and can make great recommendations and itineraries. The safety of the vessel, crew, and guests remain his top priority at all times. Aside from 128’ OCULUS, Andre has worked on 163’ GOLDEN CELL, 138’ STATUS QUO, 112′ KALEEN and more. He has cruised the Mediterranean, Africa, Central America, Bahamas, all of the Caribbean, 4 Atlantic Crossings, and the USA’s East Coast.

In his spare time, you can find him golfing and fishing. Andre is eager to show guests a great adventure onboard OCULUS that they can share with friends and family for many years to come.
