Tony hails from the south coast of the UK and has been on the water since before he can remember. Starting out in a pond sailing Optimists before progressing to larger sailboats and yachts. He has been a captain since the age of 18, having received his qualifications upon graduating secondary school. After studying Ancient History and History at University (and now loaded with facts about all his charter destinations!) and a brief stint in Marketing, he found his way back to the sea in 2016 to start a full-time career as a charter captain. He has run charters across large portions of the Mediterranean, including Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Sicily, as well as crossing the Atlantic multiple times to work in the Caribbean for winter seasons. Most recently, Tony has spent his time in the BVI both running crewed yachts and teaching sailing courses for a well-known sailing school based in Tortola. He has been a captain for the last three seasons aboard the power catamaran ‘Mare Blu’, and he looks forward to showing his guests aboard ‘Perfect Landing’ all of his BVI ‘secret spots!’
