Captain Gavin

Gavin's journey into the world of sailing began at a tender age, when he was first introduced to boats at just five years old. Growing up, he was inspired by his parents’ ambitious dreams of circumnavigating the globe, which ignited a lifelong passion for the sea. This early exposure to maritime life shaped his aspirations, leading him to pursue formal qualifications and become a certified sailing instructor. Gavin embraced the challenges of sailing passionately, equipping himself with the skills necessary to guide others through the intricate art of navigating the waters.

Free diving stands as Gavin's greatest passion, yet his love for water extends to a multitude of pursuits, including surfing, fishing, and exploring various water sports, all of which have enriched his connection to the ocean. For the past ten years, Gavin has proudly served as a charter captain in the British Virgin Islands, where his intimate knowledge of the waters is unmatched. His professional accolades include holding an RYA/MCA Yacht Master Ocean Qualification, a BVI Boatmaster certification, and a SAMSA Yacht Master Commercial, underscoring his dedication and expertise in sailing. Adding to his already diverse skill set, Gavin embarked on a six-month comprehensive chef course, receiving a City & Guild's diploma.


Gavin’s sailing career is marked by numerous significant accomplishments, including voyages across both the North and South Atlantic, circumnavigating the Baltic Sea, and enjoying ten seasons in the Caribbean. His adventures have taken him up the East Coast of Africa, from Durban to Kenya, with memorable stops in Madagascar, as well as an exhilarating surf and sail trip in Indonesia. Gavin also spent a season working as a fishing charter captain and guide in Mozambique. Each experience has not only broadened his horizons but also deepened his appreciation for the diverse cultures and ecosystems he encounters on the waters.

Gavin recently returned to chartering in the British Virgin Islands after spending cherished moments living and sailing aboard his own vessel with his wife and two young daughters. This experience allowed him to immerse himself in the vibrant Caribbean lifestyle, creating unforgettable memories with his family. Now, as he looks forward to welcoming guests onboard M/Y Philotimo, Gavin is eager to share his passion for the sea and provide everyone with the vacation of a lifetime, turning dreams into reality amidst the stunning backdrop of the ocean.
