The captain knows perfectly all Ipharra’s systems and is a highly qualified sailing instructor. Ipharra’s Captain is fluent in English and French.

Whatever you wish for deserted beaches, azure snorkelling sites, beautiful sunsets or the perfect anchorage, he will sit down and tailor an itinerary which is put together with the type of sailing you enjoy. Whilst sailing you can sit back and relax, or if you wish, under the Captain’s expert tuition you can help sail Ipharra, revealing some mysteries of navigation at sea.

Jock hails all the way from Perth, Western Australia, where he started actively sailing and racing as a young boy. He has sailed extensively through Australia and South East Asia, beginning in the dinghies and progressing to offshore racing.

After 10 years of enjoying a successful career in the IT industry, Jock decided to make a full-time career and home in the yachting industry in the summer 2009. Jock has worked as a deckhand/second engineer and IT/AV support on large motor yachts by combining his Yachtmaster Offshore certificate, Approved Engine Course, and other necessary maritime qualifications, together with his expertise in IT.

In his free time, he enjoys reading, computing, electronics and scuba diving which he is working towards a Divemaster certification. Being an avid sailor who wants to share his passion and skills, Jock will be delighted to take you out on our Laser dinghy and guide you through the basic sailing manoeuvres, navigation and rope-work.

Duncan is a qualified chef who has classic French training. He has worked in fine dining and Michelin restaurants in the UK but took influence from all over the world after cooking with his Italian grandmother from a young age, working with chefs from around the world and just experimenting with flavours in the home kitchen. He took three and a half months out to go travelling around Asia, which was a great experience for discovering new flavours and techniques through doing cookery courses whilst out there.

He would cater for twelve guests and five crew seven days a week, writing menus for different client needs and requirements. Whatever epicurean delights the guests favour, Duncan will design their menu to perfection, serve it with panache, and pair with the perfect wine.

Ipharra’s Chief Stewardess will ensure that all the many details are taken care of in the catamaran’s interior department while lending a ready hand on deck and will be delighted to take you discovering the depths of the oceans.
