Crew Profile
Peter was born in South Africa of German descent. As a teenager he loved the ocean and spent as much time as possible in or on the waves. He was an excellent competitor on the South African Sport Fishing Team. He was inspired by his interest in ships to join the South African Navy. After leaving the Navy he began a Salvage Company and grew to renown for salvaging many wrecks off the southern coast of Africa.
Peter has led a fascinating life, which with a little coaxing he will happily chat about. He retired from salvage, invested in plastics manufacture, and purchased a game and cattle farm. In 2002 he answered the call of the sea once again. In Mozambique he owned and operated a charter fishing company. Whenever the opportunity arose he crossed the Atlantic Ocean on boat deliveries. Eventually he settled in the Caribbean, captaining several of the finest charter yachts in the region.
Peter inspires confidence. Guests feel immediately secure, at home and at ease aboard SKIMMER when he is in command. Peter holds an RYA/MCA Yacht Master Offshore Ocean and Master of Yachts 200 Tons. He is a PADI Open Water Instructor and dive master. He is a man of the world, with a twinkle in his eye, a charming sense of humor, and lots of stories to share. Guests only need to hang around the helm a bit, or get together for sundowners on deck, to listen to them.
