Ross was born in Dublin, Ireland, but spent most of his life in Cork Harbour and summer holidaying on the coast of West Cork. He comes from a family of seafarers and dabbled in boats and yachts for all of his youth, particularly in his Grandfather’s boat. Ross studied Nautical Science and obtained his Officer of the Watch licence. He then spent five years working for various cruise lines, most recently with Princess Cruises as third officer. Ross joined the Irish Coastguard as a Radio Watch Officer in June 2021 decided it was too early to hang up his sea boots so transitioned to yachting joining Arctic. Ross’s role is to act as the captain’s deputy and to ensure that the ship’s deck runs smoothly and safely. He ensures that the ship is kept looking its best and the service and experience for the guests is the highest standard at all times.

Having grown up on the water from a young age with a family run sailing school, Hugo has always been destined to make a life for himself at Sea. He started his on-water career as a multidisciplined water sports instructor on the Isle of Wight in the UK and after a couple of years teaching, he was able to secure his place on a yachting cadetship to take him to his O􀆯icer of the Watch qualification. Over the next 12 years he progressed through the ranks on a variety of superyachts ranging from 50m – 102m. Having completed his Master 3000 qualification earlier this year he now looks forward to many more years at sea. After so many years going back and forth to the Isle of Wight for his studies, it was only a matter of time before he placed roots down. Hugo and his wife purchased their first house together there in 2023 and they are now making the most of living and working by the sea.

First Officer

Leonardo grew up in Tuscany, Italy, where he spent his childhood playing around in small boats and dinghies. It did not take him long to realise that he wanted to make a career out of ships and the sea. After finishing his studies, he left for the UK to obtain his commercial maritime tickets. He spent seven successful years working up the ranks on large cruise ships all over the globe.
Leonardo recently decided to return to the yachting industry to follow his father’s footsteps who sailed as Captain for many years. Arctic is now his new floating home, and he is excited to deliver exciting and memorable experiences to all those who sail on her. When not on the water, he enjoys motorcycle trips around Europe and rock climbing with his friends.

Second Officer

Alex, the younger brother of Mitch is another crew member born and raised in New Zealand. After finishing school, he went on to university to further his education, before spending time working in more traditional office environments. Looking for something more hands on, Alex made the switch into yachting and is now part of the deck team onboard Arctic. He brings a strong work ethic, a calm presence, and a willingness to learn — always ready to roll up his sleeves and get involved wherever needed on deck. Outside of work, Alex is an avid sportsman who enjoys staying active. In his downtime, you’ll likely find him fishing or at the nearest golf course working on his craft.

Benjamin, originally from Tauranga, New Zealand, has always had a deep love for the
outdoors. Whether he's out surfing, lacing up his boots for a weekend of hiking and camping, or packing his snowboard for a trip to the mountains, he’s constantly seeking adventure and ways to stay active. He spent several years working in the building industry, gaining valuable hands-on experience while also taking on a variety of seasonal outdoor jobs. During this time, he began hearing stories from friends involved in the yachting world. Intrigued by the lifestyle and inspired by the idea of combining physical work with global exploration, Ben decided to make the leap into yachting.

Chris grew up on a farm outside of Edinburgh before moving into the city at the age of fifteen. He initially had a passion for the study of philosophy which he carried through to university while still living in Scotland. His other twin interest was cricket, a sport at which he considered pursuing at the professional level.
In the end, after travelling throughout South America upon graduating university, he decided to study mechanical engineering in the south of England. While the Arctic P is his first yacht, he has spent time working onboard container ships, ferries, oil rigs, military vessels, and several other classifications of ship.

Bolo grew up in Gdansk on the coast of the Baltic Sea, a beautiful city with a thousand-year history. In his youth, he was interested in and participated in ice hockey, amateur boxing, and loved reading books on maritime topics, and it was these books that led him to join the maritime academy. After graduating from this school, his career at sea included several years in the merchant fleet and a decade in offshore on diving support, multipurpose and semi-sub vessels - and now he is a happy member of the Arctic crew. His current hobbies are motorcycles and family, and above all watching his son’s hockey matches.
