Kieran holds British and South African citizenship and came to yachting after serving as a Royal Marine and working in anti-poaching. Before Destiny Unbound he skippered charters on Lagoon catamarans in Greece and ran offshore passages out of Cape Town.
On board he handles navigation, anchoring and the daily running of the boat, and he builds each itinerary around the people on it. Ask him about the quieter snorkel spots, when to beat the crowds to a popular anchorage, or where the fish are biting. On his days off he sails, surfs and fishes.
