Bodhisattva

Captain Adam hails from Knysna, South Africa, where
he began his seafaring skills, growing up sailing dinghies
and his father’s majestic 60ft gaff-rigged ketch,
eventually crossing the Atlantic Ocean at the age of 18,
to the Caribbean.
This led him into his career, amounting 25 years of
expert skippering experience with both sail and power
boats (commercial and recreational). He is also a
certified salvage and commercial diver and large crane
operator, he blends his hands-on expertise with a
customer focused approach, prioritizing safety above all
else.
Having called the British Virgin Islands home for 17
years, he possesses an intimate knowledge of the
region’s renowned hotspots and hidden treasures.
Captain Adam has local connections to organize
outstanding dive rendezvous for any enthusiastic diver
on board, or any excursion available to guests in the BVI
or further down the Caribbean if needed.
He is also an avid kiteboarder, and is a master of the
BVI’s premier water sport locations. In his role, he
delights in leading thrilling sailing adventures and water
sport experiences, all aboard the luxurious vessel SY
Bodhisattva, under his command.
When not at sea, Captain Adam treasures every moment
with his cherished daughter, Izzy, and wife, Elisabeth, on
their home island of Tortola.
