Meet the clipper crew

Andi cycled to the Netherlands from his native Switzerland hoping to find work sailing so skippering the Clipper Stad Amsterdam is a dream come true for him. 

Moritz has sailed and operated traditional sailing ships since 1993. After one year as a deckhand and several as a skipper on Dutch coastal and inshore waters, he left for the Baltic Sea and the Caribbean. Moritz has sailed all over the world on a variety of large sailing ships and in almost every conceivable position: sailor, engineer, nautical officer and captain.

Between 2007 and 2012, Moritz sailed on the Clipper Stad Amsterdam as second officer for one year and as first officer for four years. In June 2015, he became one of the two captains on board.

After 8 years of work in various catering businesses and completing his study as a physical education teacher, Kobus came on board as a bartender in the summer of 2015. A true ‘Brabander’ (resident of a Dutch province in the south) with attention for quality and detail. 

In 2019 he has been recommended for a promotion to become Hospitality Manager, his dream job. “Under every circumstance, we always try to pamper our guests. As hospitality crew, we’re very proud to do so”. He likes to welcome you on board soon.
