Meet Tristram (Tris), from the UK—the home of the largest natural harbour in the world—before embarking on a maritime journey that began with studying for his unlimited tonnage officer’s license in the Merchant Navy. He cut his teeth in the oil and gas industry of the North Sea and has since navigated some of the world’s most remarkable waters—serving on the largest yacht in existence, guiding large charter vessels throughout the Mediterranean, and spending six memorable years on his previous program cruising from the rugged Alaskan coast to the scenic shores of Nova Scotia, with countless stops in between. In fact, he’s sailed every ocean on the planet, a testament to his unwavering passion for adventure.

Beyond the bridge, Tris is a multi-talented individual who loves sailing, surfing, diving, and fishing—he’s fished major sport fishing tournaments around the globe and even represented Great Britain in dinghy racing as a teenager. A social butterfly at heart, he channels his energetic spirit as a DJ and once worked as a tour manager for high-profile DJs across Europe and the USA. Not only that, but he’s also spent time as a cardiac technician and ran a successful landscaping business showcasing his versatility both on and off the water. With his boundless energy, quick sense of humor, and knack for making people laugh, Tristram is eager to create unforgettable moments for guests and crew alike.
