ATLAS Yacht Charter Catamaran

Captain Jake Dyer

Jake is an easygoing, personable Captain who loves creating fun, memorable experiences on the water. With over 32,000 nautical miles under his belt and extensive experience on sailing and power catamarans, he brings a calm, confident approach to running a yacht while making sure guests feel relaxed and looked after from the moment they step onboard.

Sharing his love of the ocean is a big part of what drives him. As a Dive Master and Watersports Instructor, he enjoys putting together active days of snorkeling, diving, kitesurfing and secluded beaches, and helping guests try something new. He believes the best charters feel effortless, so rather than following a rigid schedule, he tailors each day to what you want, whether that's an adventurous island day, a long lunch followed by a swim, sunset drinks at anchor or a quiet day relaxing onboard.

With a medical background and a strong technical mindset, safety is always a priority, but never at the expense of fun. Hands-on and approachable, Jake loves getting to know his guests and crew.

When he's not on the yacht, you'll find him kitesurfing, diving or surfing, and his goal on every charter is simple: an incredible week on the water that guests will still be talking about long after they leave.
