Having worked in many different areas of the sailing world and seen
things from the Captains point of view, Julian decided to develop a charter
business. As a mad lover
of Swan yachts, he decided to base the charter business on a Swan 51.
After extensive experience at sea on many different types of yacht including
Nautors Swans, he was convinced that where it matters, in the middle of an
ocean, a Swan was the boat best suited to the task.
Julian is very positive, even in the middle of a gale in the
middle of nowhere, and always manages to chill everybody out. His passion is being on the water,
warm if possible, and passing on his experiences of sailing.
