Peter completed his formative studies at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies in the early 2000s and built up his mileage working on gas carriers, super tankers, ice breakers and fishery protection vessels. With his tickets in hand, he joined his first superyacht in 2000 and quickly made his way onto larger vessels, his second one being 113m in length! Aside of climbing the ranks on board, Peter also spent a few years working at Stornoway Port Authority, serving as chief pilot for all visiting vessels.
