In the words of those who have sailed with me
“It has been an honour and a privilege to have you in command of our most iconic vessel, my dear friend.
Your professionalism, your deep knowledge and your balanced, steady leadership have left a lasting mark on all of us at Cantiere delle Marche. What impressed us most is the way you worked hand in hand with our team, always constructive and always collaborative, while never losing sight of your principal’s interests. That is exactly what a great captain does, and you did it with rare elegance.
Any owner fortunate enough to have you on the bridge can count on safe hands, sound judgement and a true gentleman of the sea.
Good luck, amico mio. I sincerely and strongly hope we will see you again very, very soon on one of our Explorer yachts.”
“A true gentleman of the sea”
“Guy’s strengths lie in the guarantee he provides me that my boat is always operated to the highest standards of safety, his genuine passion for the luxury industry, his eye for detail to bring my boat up to the next level, his expertise in planning and creating a fantastic onboard experience for my guests, and his ability to recruit and manage a happy, well-performing and motivated crew. I’m especially happy to see many of the same crew onboard year after year, and the familiarity it provides.”
“SOHO to us is family, and it’s important that our time onboard is as fun and inclusive of the crew as possible. We believe that crew involvement is paramount to a great holiday and know with Guy comes the added guarantee of a fun, fantastic team onboard.”
“Guy served as the captain on our inaugural yacht charter, aboard the Fortuna Star, back in 2012...
...we’ve engaged Guy’s services for 3 subsequent charters, including 2 voyages with SOHO. His ability to consistently assemble an exceptional team has given us unwavering confidence in introducing our friends to these experiences, secure in the knowledge that we’re all in for an unparalleled adventure.”
“The team and I at Cecil Wright have established an excellent relationship with Guy over the years and regard him as one of our ‘go to’ Captains for guaranteed charter success. Clients have always reported back positively of their time onboard with Guy & his team and as a result, returned to us for repeat charters.”
“You can say a lot about a person, but actions speak louder than words. Guy is not just an amazing warm hearted captain, he’s also been a great friend over all those years. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“I have worked with Guy for nearly 10 years and have genuinely enjoyed doing so. Guy’s loyalty and passion for the industry, as well as his genuine care for his crew are clearly evident on a
daily basis. He is absolutely focussed on the highest safety standards and service onboard”
“Guy is one of the few people who can be fun and easy going but at the same time has high standards and expectations when it comes to work such as safety, yachting standards and efficiency. He is one of the kindest people I have met and always goes that extra mile for both his crew, boss and guests.”
