Dave first dipped his toe in the marine leisure industry in 1998 working as a water sports instructor. Experience skippering survey vessels and refinishing superyachts followed, before running a successful charter yacht in the Aegean.

After several seasons running top class ski chalets in France, Dave returned to yachting, working as a flotilla skipper in the Ionian, before joining Bayan Blue to skipper one of our luxury yachts.

Dave is an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and a PADI qualified rescue diver. When he gets some spare time, he likes to windsurf and snowboard.

In his younger days, Dave was a TGI Friday's bar tender - don't forget to sample some of the 100 cocktails he can mix up!
