Andy was brought up sailing on the south coast of England; he has been working within the yachting industry since 1994 and on superyachts for the last 23 years.
With over 15 years of experience on BLISS, it is fair to say Andy knows the boat well. Having circumnavigated the world on BLISS, Andy is fortunate enough to have visited wild and wonderful places, Indonesia and the Pacific being his favourites. The standout features on BLISS, he believes, are her composite structure, making her lighter, and the speed at which her sails go up, meaning guests get to experience the joys of sailing within minutes. Andy looks forward to welcoming sailing enthusiasts on board and is more than happy for them to take the wheel under his supervision. He believes BLISS offers the perfect combination of thrill and luxury.
