The Crew on board are:

Captain - Alan Collinge

Alan was introduced to life on the water at a very early age. His father, being a Royal Navy Mariner, and his Grandfather, a highly regarded businessman in the European yachting world, it wasn’t long before He found his calling on the salty side.
Growing up in South Africa, originally starting his journey as a surf lifeguard and scuba diving instructor in various locations around the world, Alan naturally progressed into captaincy of ocean going vessels in places like The Caribbean, Western Mediterranean, Hong Kong, Cyprus and South Africa. Now with almost a decade of experience in commanding roles, you can be sure to feel at ease whilst aboard La Gatta.
Alan is, and always has been, an avid Watersports man, participating in many different sports such at Kitesurfing, surfing, scuba diving, spear fishing and many more. Above the water he is a long time golfer and all round ball-sports enthusiast.
“La Gatta is a very special and important vessel to me, and I look forward to welcoming all guests aboard to be apart of one of the most exciting and unique experiences of your life!”
