Will was raised in Derbyshire in the UK—about as far from the water as you can get—yet he has been connected to boating from an early age.
Entering the yachting industry at 30, he brings a slightly unconventional path, underpinned by a strong background in leadership. Throughout his career, both before and within yachting, Will has consistently held senior roles, often carrying responsibilities equal to or exceeding those of a yacht skipper.
This experience has shaped a calm, adaptable approach, allowing him to perform confidently in any situation. He places a strong emphasis on guest satisfaction and safety, ensuring both remain at the forefront at all times.
Outside of work, Will enjoys classic cars, mountain biking, and skiing.
