Gareth has always had a love for the ocean from a young age, ever since watching ‘Jaws’ on repeat as a three year old child. As he grew older he grew restless in the UK and decided to go travelling, spending a lot of time in Madagascar and South East Asia. Eventually he would become a scuba diving instructor, spending five years working in Asia before spending a year working on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. As a natural progression he moved onto yachts, initially working as a dive instructor and being lucky to dive most locations anywhere between Canada and Australia. Over time he spent more time on top of the ocean, moving onto the bridge and working his way up to Chief Officer. He has since moved back to his hometown in Scotland with his young family in order to enjoy a more settled life.

Seafaring has always been in his blood and he is following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather who are both captains. Tristan’s hobbies and interests include but are not limited to working up a sweat in the gym, grabbing a kite or sail on a windy day, rolling out his yoga mat for a few downward dogs, hiking up in the mountains and sipping on an ice cold drink while watching the evening roll in with a good sunset.
