Captain Brett Clark, Australian, 34
Over the last five years Brett has been on the fast track, gaining experience and qualifications as a charter yacht skipper. He worked in sales and PR before turning his sights on the yachting industry, inspired perhaps by his time as a water sports instructor in the south of France. And, he may be the only charter captain who is a professional baker/ pastry chef.
Brett’s hands-on experience covers yacht maintenance, charter preparation and yacht engineering. With his wife, Andrea, he has traveled extensively as delivery crew on modern and classic yachts around the UK, Ireland, Mallorca, Scandinavia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. He has more than three years experience as First Mate/ Engineer on sailing yachts up to 90 feet and aboard the 86 foot motor yacht Bel Mare. Between deliveries, Brett was based in the UK working for a marine engineering company operating in Southampton and Mallorca. Brett’s charter experience as captain of a busy 90’ motor sailer with repeat long-term charters make him well-suited to be the skipper of TRUE NORTH. He is STCW95 certified and holds an International Yachtmaster Offshore License in addition to an RYA Day Skipper license.
Chef Andrea Clark, Australian, 32
Andrea grew up on and around her parents' boats in Australia's beautiful Whitsunday Islands. She worked in the hospitality industry for many years - good training for chartering – and takes pride in giving guests the very highest level of service at all times.
Andrea and Brett started working as a tem on yachts in 2003 in Southampton, England, managing shore-based charter preparations for Zanna, a 25 meter yawl. Andrea has always had a fine appreciation of cuisine based on fresh regional foods and unique flavors. Working side by side with top caliber professional chefs, notably Brooke Phelps on the 86 foot motor yacht Bel Mare in New Zealand and Chris Millburg on the 90’ motor sailer ARIA, she has raised her cooking and presentation skills to a higher level. Now confidently in charge of TRUE NORTH’S galley, she is ready to serve her guests the finest and freshest ingredients prepared with her own creative flair. She is happy to fulfill individual requests and cater for special dietary requirements.
Andrea holds an RYA Dayskipper License and has completed the theory component of the RYA Yachtmaster License.
