Greig Robert Lloyd
Greig grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, on a farm in the mountains far north of the city, alongside his two older brothers. He spent most of his teenage years as a professional BMX rider, while also exploring Southern Africa on motocross bikes. Drawn to adrenaline from a young age, he immersed himself in virtually every extreme sport he could find.
Before entering yachting, Greig worked as a toolmaker, managed his father’s automotive engineering firm, and spent time in real estate. He began his yachting career in 2015 and quickly committed himself to climbing the ranks, dedicating all his spare time to courses and licensing. This focus earned him his first position as a Captain in 2019.
He has cruised the Mediterranean extensively, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and along the U.S. East Coast, reaching as far north as Bar Harbor, Maine. He has worked on yachts such as M/Y KANOLA, M/Y KATHERINE, M/Y SEALYON, M/Y LAYZ Z, M/Y ISLAND COWBOY, M/Y VICTORIOUS, M/Y COUNTLESS and currently at the helm of M/Y SWEET ESCAPE with a great Crew.
His number one mission is to create a truly magical escape from reality, whether that means total relaxation in the world’s most beautiful locations or an unforgettable party tailored entirely to his clients’ preferences. Whatever the style, his goal is always the same – to create memories that last a lifetime.
In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife, exploring new places, and teaching their two children how to play the guitar, ride motocross, and stay curious about the world.
He likes to spend his free time with his wife and teaching their two kids how to play the guitar, motocross and inspiring a sense of curiosity and adventure.
His motto in life is: “You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option”.
