Captain Adam Buyskes
Captain Adam hails from Knysna, South Africa, where his lifelong passion for the sea began. Growing up sailing dinghies and his father’s 60-foot gaff-rigged ketch, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean at just 18 years old, making his way to the Caribbean and launching a professional yachting career that now spans more than 25 years.
Throughout his career, Adam has captained both sailing and power vessels in commercial and private operations. He is also a certified commercial and salvage diver and a qualified large crane operator, bringing exceptional technical expertise and practical knowledge to every voyage. His calm leadership, commitment to safety, and easygoing personality ensure guests feel both confident and relaxed throughout their charter.
Having called the British Virgin Islands home for more than 17 years, Adam possesses an intimate knowledge of the region’s famous destinations as well as its hidden gems. His strong local relationships allow him to arrange unique shoreside experiences while crafting itineraries tailored to each guest’s interests.
An avid kiteboarder and lifelong water sports enthusiast, Adam enjoys introducing guests to the very best sailing, snorkeling, and adventure opportunities the islands have to offer. When he’s ashore, he treasures time with his wife, Elisabeth, and their daughter, Izzy, at their home on Tortola.
