"The perfect manager"

This is to confirm that Captain Simon Johnson was employed as Captain on board of the 77m motor yacht "SAMAR", when I was working as Senior Yacht Administrator at Fraser Yachts. I was in charge of the yacht between June and December 2007.

I would qualify Simon as a "perfect manager": before the yacht came in management with Fraser Yachts, he was on his own to deal with both the financial and technical sides of the vessel, and all other difficulties a yacht the size of "SAMAR" could face. The first time I arrived on board I was really impressed by the perfect organisation displayed on all levels.

Under our management, the yacht cruised from Barcelona through the French Cote d'Azure, Capri, Sicily, Istanbul and Russia. During this cruise with the very demanding Owner, all was really well organised and resulted in a perfect synergy between the Captain and the office.

I can sincerely recommend Simon and I definitely look forward to working again with him.
