Coraggio

Crew Info:

Captain Andre Moore: Andre's love for the water started at an early age - his family owned a series of boats throughout his childhood, and he first experienced the magic of the Bahamas at the tender age of three. By the time Andre was in his early teens, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become a yacht captain. Fast forward to today, and Andre has spent more than a decade as one of our industry's brightest stars, with vast experience captaining a wide range of motor yachts for both charter and private trips. Andre's knowledge of the waters around South Florida, the Keys, and, in particular, the Bahamas is second-to-none. He is certified Open Water diving, STCW 95 BST, First Aid, and CPR and boasts a 200 Ton captain's license. In his free time, Andre loves spearfishing & hunting, driving go fast boats, and playing around with his three Labradors.
