Welcome aboard my yacht, Wanderer13. I am delighted to be your Captain.

Many of my guests know that I'm a pretty laid back guy who likes to chill out and enjoy the Indo lifestyle. But like any business there's a serious side to it and I take a great pleasure in being properly prepared.

You'll find Wanderer13 is properly maintained and well appointed with all of the accessories one would expect on a boat of this size and scale. We're ready for just about anything. And not surprisingly, Wanderer13 is also comfortable and cosy. When on board you'll have all of the comforts of home and the safety and experience of a highly trained crew.

I hold a Master 3 Skippers Certificate with

2000 hrs in command, together with over 3500 diving hours under my belt, including night dives, shipwrecks and depths to 90mtrs. I have a passion for surfing big waves (I once surfed a 35 foot swell off a Sydney beach) and I'm always looking for the next big one!

On a personal note, my hobbies include surfing, sailing, diving, flying, water skiing, barefoot skiing, Bourbon, fishing and chilling out under an Indo sunset. But most importantly I want you to have a good time with us and enjoy this great Indonesian lifestyle.

I invite you to join us on your next Indonesian get-away.
