UK-born and raised sailing and diving on the south coast and abroad, James brings hands-on expertise and operational leadership to Swisspath Yachting’s Yacht Management division.

After starting his career at 19, following an offshore sailing race from China to the UK, he worked his way up to captain both private and charter yachts from 50ft to 150ft, sailing across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, North America and Norway, including multiple ocean crossings.

Now based in Mallorca, James supports owners and crews in both English and Spanish, ensuring every vessel under his care runs with precision, foresight, and attention to detail.

A few things you won't find about James on LinkedIn

Fun Fact
Competed in an offshore yacht race sailing to the UK from China when he was 19.
Favourite Destinaion
North and South Ionian Islands in Greece, calm and steady winds, crystal clear water, numerous isolated bays with noone else in sight, and quite possibly the friendliest locals who welcome you with open arms everywhere you go.
What keeps him busy outside of work?
Enjoying the Mallorcan mountains on a bike, walking the dog, beach with the kids and baking cakes so I have an excuse to eat them.
Ideal Day Off
Early morning spin on the bike followed by a lunch out, perhaps some time at the beach with the kids then an afternoon in the local village square watching the kids play while taking in an Aperol!
Favorite Sailing Ground
The Grenadines, a more remote feeling than the north islands, short passages, line-of-sight navigation, and the freedom to drop anchor off somewhere like Tobago Cays, where the water shifts from deep blue to impossibly clear in a matter of metres, and the only schedule is the wind.
Go-To Indulgence
Cake, all the cake... and good wine
