MATE-ENGINEER: Euan WHITE
South African
STCW’10
Languages: English
Rounding out our seasoned crew is Euan; Euan was born in England before moving to South Africa and growing up in Umhlanga.
With a desire to venture beyond the beaches, he fell in love with yachting and fishing when he wasn’t playing academy level soccer.
As an accomplished man of the sea, Euan would love to tell you tales of his sailfish catch or his multiple dives for lobsters.
Better yet, he’d be happy to guide you to create stories like that to take home to share with family and friends.
Euan loves bringing his enthusiasm to new places and new challenges.
