About Tristan

Based in the Luxury Yachting Industry on various private and charter vessels ranging from all sizes, with extensive worldwide cruising itineraries!

🛥

Major water sports enthusiast in all disciplines, from water powered jet toys to skiing and wake boarding to windsurfing, kite surfing and sailing! Teaching guests and clients when given the opportunity.
I enjoy all forms of sport and outdoor activity, staying fit is a must!

🏄🏻‍♂️

I was elected Prefect in High School and represented my high school for rugby(when i lived in Mauritius i was selected to play for the national side)! Other sports included football, swimming and athletics. Running the National cross country for my school as well.

🏉

Sailing, kayaking, diving, snorkelling and deep sea fishing are some of the other water related activities I enjoy.
I'm motivated, hard working and hate to disappoint, but having a good time is essential as as well!

🌊

Videography and photography have grown to be 2 huge passions of mine! Working with a large range of camera/filming equipment and editing softwares, I not only create content for Owner/guests, but also for my own and my employers social media platforms, which I oversea at the same time!

Second Officer

The Second Officer acts as understudy to the First Officer. He/she may be individually responsible for the navigation of the yacht and keeping charts and publications up to date. Other duties include monitoring the navigation and radio equipment and undertaking bridge watches when at sea. The Second Officer may also be the designated security, safety, or medical Officer.

"The Second officer is a role which, besides navigation and safety on board, is a role that supports the chief Officer when he is and is not there! He helps make their lives a little easier! He helps set the example on deck, showing the guys that all crew can always share duties where it is needed! The 2nd Officer is someone to rely on in difficult times! He is the chief Officer's go-to guy when he needs things done yesterday! He is a leader, someone you can talk to, someone who will call you on your wrongs, but teach at the same time! He is the silent HOD who does not get the recognition, but does not care because he is committed to the cause! He is the one the deck crew looks up to."
