Captain Dave Lennon
Originally from Ireland, Dave has swapped the Emerald Isle for a career chasing the sunshine. With over a decade of experience in the yachting industry and more than 10,000nm to his name, Dave specialises in private and charter catamarans, with extensive expertise in overseeing maintenance and managing charter programmes.
Known for his meticulous, detail oriented approach, Dave ensures every charter is run to the highest standard. His in-depth knowledge of the Caribbean and Western Mediterranean allows him to create exceptional itineraries, guiding guests to both hidden gems and iconic destinations. 
Passionate about the ocean, Dave is a PADI Divemaster, kitesurfing instructor, and keen wing foiler, bringing both professionalism and a sense of adventure to every charter.

First Mate Aidan Brand

Growing up by the Atlantic Ocean sparked Aidan’s lifelong passion for boating, seamanship, and lifesaving. He trained extensively from a young age, competing nationally in surf, ski and lifesaving events. Here he developed strong leadership, teamwork, and emergency response skills. 
Aidan has been around boats all his life, skippering sailing boats from age sixteen and completing his Day Skipper aged twenty. Professionally this was followed by two years deckhand experience where he gained hands-on engineering, plumbing, electrical, and maintenance skills, serving as First Mate/Engineer on a 92ft motor yacht in France. 
Hardworking, respectful, and reliable, he joins WINDKIND as first mate with a view to progressing toward his full Captain’s Certification. 

Stewardess Macayla Colin

Hailing from South Africa, Macayla brings over seven years of experience in front-of-house hospitality, including the last three years working on board yachts. Naturally creative, she has a keen eye for detail and presentation. Macayla thrives under pressure during service and is equally comfortable supporting in the galley or on deck when needed. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, swimming, painting, and photography.
