MEET THE CREW

Andy’s lifelong passion for the ocean began with surfing, sparking a journey that would take him across the globe in search of the perfect wave. As a former junior professional surfer, he developed a deep respect for the sea—a respect that now guides his work as a charter captain. Before stepping into the world of luxury charters, Andy began his maritime career as a delivery captain, successfully crossing both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. This extensive experience honed his navigational expertise and gave him a unique perspective on adventure and safety at sea. For the past seven years, Andy has been at the helm of catamarans throughout the Caribbean, sharing his love of the water with guests. Whether it’s leading you to a secluded snorkeling site, reeling in a big catch, or simply charting the perfect course for your trip, Andy’s goal is to create unforgettable memories. When he’s not at sea, Andy channels his creativity into Japanese carpentry, handcrafting furniture with the same precision and patience he brings to sailing. With his wealth of experience and calm, capable presence, Andy is committed to making your charter aboard Jan’s Felion an extraordinary adventure.
