Our Crew on your skippered sailing charter
Lady
Liv’s crew, Bob and Marion, will be your hosts during your
stay onboard and are there to ensure your holiday is one to remember!
They are widely travelled and have sailed for many years before
packing up their hectic lives running their own businesses in the
land locked home-counties of England, in order to change their lifestyle
and pursue their passion for the outdoor life.
In fact, in August 2007 they left the UK and sailed Lady Liv through
the Mediterranean via Gibraltar and the Canaries, across the
Atlantic to the West Indies and spent almost a year exploring new
countries and islands, building up a vast amount of experience and
knowledge to enhance your holiday aboard with us.
Bob
Heffron is the owner and skipper of Lady Liv. Bob is an accomplished
and experienced RYA skipper with extensive sailing experience spanning
25 years. He has covered over 30,000 nautical miles in a range of
waters including the Mediterranean, Aegean, Adriatic, and Caribbean
Seas and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Bob has also delivered
yachts to many destinations.
As well as his love of sailing, Bob is a PADI certified diver,
and can show you the best diving, snorkelling and fishing spots
on your holiday.
Bob’s primary job will be to sail the yacht. Guests can participate
in the sailing as much or as little as they like; Bob will be more
than happy to show you the ropes and can provide informal tuition
as required, or you can take the opportunity to completely relax,
take it easy and let your skipper take the helm and sail the boat
unaided whilst you enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.
Above all, Bob is responsible for your safety during your stay
onboard and is certificated in Sea Survival and First Aid at Sea.

for sailing, the outdoor life and entertaining, Marion’s role

the stars.
