CALYPSO Luxury Super Yacht for Charter

Originally from New Zealand but now living in England, Captain Graeme has over 25 years experience in the marine industry. He has captained vessels carrying 600 passengers, moving up the ranks to navigating 80-meter motor yachts. In the many years of super yachting, Graeme has travelled extensively throughout the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, Caribbean, Bahamas, Central America, North Sea, Canada and the USA. His early years were spent on the family farm, growing up amongst the rugged and secluded terrain of New Zealand’s South Island. He is sporty, having been a tennis coach, water ski instructor and being an avid diver. Crew are often attracted to his infectious and adventurous nature, being one of the first to plan a group tour or outing when docking into a new port. Definitely the more reserved and humble individual, yet when the opportunity arises, he is a natural storyteller, entertaining anyone with the tales of his world adventures to anyone who will listen. His past times include hiking, house renovations, reading and eating! Previous Yachts: M/Y Amphitrite, M/Y Vajoliroja, M/Y Simson S (Lone Ranger), M/Y Izanami, M/Y Sarita Si, M/Y Odalisque

Captain Alastair has been involved in the yachting industry for 15 years, working his way up from apprentice boat builder, delivery skipper, to captain on super yachts. He grew up in the coastal city of Durban, South Africa and found an early love of the ocean. He spent many weekends sailing, surfing, swimming and playing water polo, basically anything that involved water or the ocean. Having a master mariner as a father inspired Alastair to follow a similar path. His career has taken him to most parts of the world including South Africa, the eastern and western Mediterranean, and Asia including China and Singapore, Central and South America, the east coast of the USA and the greater Caribbean and Bahamas. He has also traversed both the Suez and Panama canals. In comparison to Graeme however, Alastair is larger than life, possessing a bodacious character. You can hear his infectious hearty laugh a mile away and his joyful energy is appreciated amongst the crew. He loves playing pranks on crewmembers at any given occasion. Alastair’s hobbies include surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding and scuba diving, watching rugby and playing squash.
