Ice Pilot/Captain Peter Watson:
Peter’s passion for adventures at sea is not surprising. It’s in his blood. He grew up in Bristol, UK, a city with a strong maritime heritage. As a child he did a lot of exploring, sailing aboard his Dingy, and hiking or horseback riding in the Welsh mountains. By the time he entered college to study marine electronic engineering, he was already focused on a maritime career. Today, Peter is a highly accomplished seaman, with numerous certifications and licenses acquired during his 30 years in the marine industry.

GREY WOLF will be available for charter in the Antarctic and later to breathtaking destinations within the Arctic Circle. Peter’s knowledge, experience and contacts in the Polar regions makes this journey possible. He is a qualified ice pilot. His lengthy list of achievements includes Polar Basic and Polar Advanced qualifications at the internationally renowned maritime college, Aboa Marine, in Turku, Finland. The school has been training mariners since 1813. It is one of the very few colleges to train in accordance with the Polar Code and IMO model courses.

Peter has traversed the world’s oceans. His exotic adventures make for lively evening conversation aboard GREY WOLF. High latitude sailing, especially trips to Greenland, and Svalbard, is a passion. Among his most amazing recent voyages, The Long Voyage Home of FPB 64 GREY WOLF was an epic journey from Auckland to Guernsey via the Panama Canal. The trip took three months and covered more than 13,000 nautical miles. GREY WOLF is a safe, comfortable and luxurious explorer yacht. But it’s Peter that makes every charter expedition the experience of a lifetime.
