Captain Simon Johnson

"Simon Johnson is the epitome of a charming host and combines this with his renowned skills as a sailor. He has a generosity of spirit that will leave you enthused by his philosophy of living life to the full, and in the best possible style!"

I have excelled in yachting since the age of 14. I then became the youngest RYA Yachtmaster Instructor - the highest qualification in the business at that time. My many miles of experience, my ownership of several yachts and a yachting businesses puts me into a league that demonstrates my passion for ships and those who embark on them.

"Ships bring people together, and under the command of a captain like Simon Johnson, wonderful opportunities for exploration under his exceptional care can be enjoyed, making yachting a truly remarkable experience."

As an experienced and accomplished luxury yacht captain I have over 30 years' experience of navigating global waters and commanding private and charter yachts of up to 82m.   Over the years I've worked for some of the world's most elite yacht owners, providing a range of services including charters, yacht deliveries and dry dock projects such as new builds and re-fits. 

Discerning yacht owners will only accept the highest standards of professionalism, discretion and excellence and they deserve a captain who can deliver to their highest expectations.   I relentlessly manage my team to provide a service which meets the exacting standards of the top-tier service required within a luxury, high-end yachting environment where living life to the full and relaxing in style is paramount.   It is my job to deliver all of this to my owner, providing the safest, most efficient, most refined, smooth and thoroughly discrete operation at all times.

"I found Simon to be extremely thorough, efficient, caring, knowledgeable, and an excellent navigator and ship handler"
