Here’s the story of how it all began, what happened in between, and how we ended up as partners both on deck and in life. Captain Goera

Captain Goeran down in the engine room Behind every remote anchorage, dolphin sighting, and starry night at sea lies the invisible but essential work of keeping an expedition yacht running smoothly. While guests enjoy snorkelling over coral reefs or sharing stories around a beach bonfire, Captain Goeran is quietly doing what he does best: ensuring that Quest  is ready for anything.
