Captain Liam Killian
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Captain Liam Killian has always had a deep connection to the ocean. Growing up surfing, kitesurfing, freediving, and fishing, a life at sea felt like a natural calling. His sailing journey began when he and a friend wandered into the Cape Royal Yacht Club to learn the basics of sailing and unexpectedly found themselves aboard a racing yacht. From that moment, Liam was hooked and soon set his sights on earning his Yachtmaster certification.
Since then, Liam has built an impressive career delivering brand-new catamarans on remarkable voyages, including transatlantic and transpacific crossings. His passion for boats extends well beyond sailing, and when he’s ashore, you’ll often find him involved in yacht builds and refits, expanding his knowledge of vessel systems and craftsmanship.
A lifelong student of the ocean, Liam has an exceptional knowledge of marine life, inspired by a childhood fascination with fish and aquariums. He enjoys sharing that enthusiasm with guests—whether pointing out fascinating sea life, offering local insights, or teaching guests the fundamentals of sailing and helping them gain confidence at the helm.
With a calm, approachable nature and a genuine passion for adventure, Captain Liam is dedicated to creating safe, engaging, and unforgettable experiences on the water.
