Captain Brad grew up on the beach in Durban, South Africa. His days mostly included surfing, cycling, and racing motorcycles in which he won many awards in their local championships. Brad began yachting straight out of high school at the age of 17. It was his love for the ocean that steered him in pursuit of a yachting career and it is now his passion for the industry that drives him. Now being in yachting for 16 years, Brad brings with him a wealth of knowledge and dedication. His greatest asset is his enthusiasm to work hard and tackle all challenges head-on. Brad’s goal is to go further than just acquiring his Master 3000 t license. To Brad, this industry is more than just a career, it is a way of life of which he would like to pass on to his son and generations to follow. In his spare time, you can find Brad enjoying all watersports, but surfing is his favorite as he finds it therapeutic. Brad hopes all guests have the experience of a lifetime so that the moment the charter is over, they are already planning their next visit.
