International Yacht Collection (IYC) has announced that Andre Peens has joined the company as the Director of Yacht Management.

The celebrated captain has piloted and managed superyachts including Seven Seas, Princess Mariana, Katana, Iroquois and Artful Dodger.

“Andre benefits from a time and position-tested background aboard yachts of all sizes,” said Bob Saxon, IYC President. “From deck hand to boson to chief officer and captain, Andre’s experience enables him to provide our clients that kind of saltwater-in-the-veins know-how that will meet their needs whether their yacht is in Fort Lauderdale, far up the Amazon or in emerging cruising Australasia destinations. It’s an understatement to say we are lucky to have him join IYC.”
