“To whom it may concern, Captain Geff Dazeley has now been contracted 4 times to deliver M/Y 'FOUR WISHES' across the Atlantic and then manage the maintenance required for each upcoming charter season. In September 2011 this included a Lloyds intermediate survey and an extensive 7 week out of water refit, Geff chose and liaised with the yard who could haul out and fit in with our tight time schedule. He oversaw and organized contractors, surveyors, and crew, and dealt directly with head office over the budget and all relating payments. As captain of a successful and busy charter boat it is a huge relief that I can turn over the vessel to Geff knowing the crew will be happy and the vessel will be ready for the upcoming season. Geff has been contracted for the upcoming 2012 Atlantic crossings. please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information ”

“Geff Dazeley was captain of my 112 foot M/Y Sensation from March 2004 to October 2005. This period included the time from initial delivery of Sensation from the yacht builder (Westport) and the first approximately eighteen months of Sensation’s operations. Geff worked very diligently with Westport to insure Sensation was in first class operating condition upon our acceptance of delivery. During the next eighteen months, Sensation traveled from the Seattle, Washington to Alaska, California, and Los Cabos, Mexico, then came back up through California and Alaska, and again back down to California. Geff exhibited excellent captaining and yacht management skills. Geff is an excellent driver, and is knowledgeable of all the equipment on board. Sensation was kept in new condition each and every day. Geff maintained a happy, likable and working crew of three (first mate, chef and stewardess). It was reassuring to have a consistent crew on each visit, providing a high level of service. Both us, and our guests, were always extremely appreciative of Geff, his crew, and the condition and operation of Sensation. Geff is knowledgeable, personable, and has a casual demeanor. Geff was a pleasure for an owner to deal with. I would highly recommend Geff as a captain. If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.”

He said that he could see how well you and your crew got along and that good feeling extended to the guests, they felt totally comfortable with you all and appreciated that you made every effort to please them completely.
