Coming from mixed ancestry and growing up in Scotland in the 80s, Jage couldn’t wait to travel. With an insatiable passion for the unknown and adventure he began traveling at the age of 14 and left forever at the age of 18.
Drawn by the great mountains, oceans, and peoples of the world he took to the road in an old VW van and drove from Europe through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan Afghanistan, India and onwards. Finally ending up in Australia. Jage has visited and worked in all 7 continents. From a lowly kitchen hand in the Greek islands, ski guide in the French alps, qualified construction worker in Australia He has certainly had a varied journey, eventually putting down roots in the French alps and starting a construction business and a family there.
Jage pursued his dreams of becoming a sailor, qualifying as a captain and buying his first yacht in 2009 called “Nomad “. He took his young family onboard to experience the wonders of this world by sail, voyaging to many places including the Seychelles, Thailand, Greece, and Turkey. He then bought a catamaran in 2016 and they sailed from Turkey, through the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic to Dominica and Saint Vincent, in the Caribbean, where he then worked in the yachting industry for many years.
Now that his children are grown, he is returning to his passion as a sailor and captain having clocked up over 25 000 logged miles including 2 ocean crossings. Jage is also a qualified scuba rescue diver, marine engineer, electrician, and stone mason (Not much use on a yacht :).
Jage is a commercially endorsed RYA yachtmaster with a huge respect for our oceans and all life in them. He loves the feeling and freedom of life on the water and can’t wait to share that passion with others. He is a fun-loving person and has always loved meeting new people from all walks of life and having a good laugh.
