William was born and raised in Bermuda. He started sailing at a young age whilst also enjoying rugby, swimming, cliff jumping and wakeboarding. William began as a Dinghy Instructor who taught sailing for five years during the Summer seasons in Bermuda, coaching students from 4 to 60 years old on a range of dinghy sizes.

Throughout this time he was also working as a Social Media Coordinator and Deckhand for a luxury charter motor yacht based in Bermuda. 

When William went to the University of Sussex in the UK, he studied for a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Management. He also obtained a Sports Scholarship for sailing at university whilst he trained and raced on a high-performance sailing boat called “49er”. 

He is a keen sportsman and has represented Bermuda at the Junior level Rugby competitions on multiple occasions. He has also represented Bermuda in the SSL Gold Cup where he raced top sailors from around the world. 

He has crossed the Atlantic twice, the Mediterranean once, and has worked as a Watch Leader which holds high responsibility for the vessel and the crew throughout the ocean passages. 

Since graduating from university three years ago, William has been living on sailboats, building a strong offshore sailing background with a huge sense of adventure. William is sociable, funny, professional, and passionate about sailing, and is always eager to share what he knows about yachting.
