Founder of Sunseeker International and ardent supporter of Sunseeker Charters.
David, along with Stefan, has owned around 20 Sunseeker boats over the past 40 years, starting out in 1979 with a Sunseeker Offshore 28ft and finishing up in more recent years with a Sunseeker 28 metre. It is clear they appreciated the design and luxury Sunseeker yachts have to offer. Having chartered their own yachts, when approached by their long-term friend Robert Braithwait, with the idea of setting up Sunseeker Charters (some 15 years ago), they of course did so with pleasure. Like Robert, they could see a gap in the market that would offer owners the opportunity to generate income from their yachts whilst still being able to enjoy the yachts themselves. It has also created an excellent chance for clients to ‘try before they buy’ resulting in many charter clients buying Sunseekers themselves and listing them for charter. It is safe to say with David and Stefan at the helm Sunseeker Charters and their many clients are in experienced and safe hands.

Philip’s experience with Sunseeker goes back to 1994, when he joined Pat and Harry Dodd at Sunseeker Sales UK in Poole. Working in the Sales department, Philip enjoyed delivering the dream that is a Sunseeker powerboat and he is a veteran of many boat shows around the world. Philip is pleased to still be delivering the Sunseeker dream today, through managing the smooth running office of Sunseeker Charters back here in Poole, after a 10 year spell working in Mallorca. In time away from the desk, Philip enjoys keeping active, in particular windsurfing, cycling, hiking and travelling to discover new places.
Growing up, Charlie always had a passion for travel, and was fortunate to go on many fantastic family holidays around Europe and in Australia. This passion for travel has continued through her adult life and she has been lucky to use her qualifications as a sailing instructor and power boat driver to travel. Through this, Charlie has lived in France, Greece, Turkey and Bahrain. Having experienced and lived among these many cultures it has set her in good stead for the charter industry. Outside of work, Charlie enjoys spending time outside with her family, having two young boys there is never a dull moment and so she spends a lot of time at the rugby club. As well as this, Charlie has a passion for interior design, and practices this through renovating her 1930's property. Charlie has so far thoroughly enjoyed her time at Sunseeker Charters and loves to meet new people, she looks forward to continuing her travels to the yacht shows and building her own client base further.
Prior to joining Sunseeker Charters, Toby spent 4 years in the automotive industry as a salesman for BMW. After this period, he felt that it was time for a change and was keen to get into the marine industry. The role of Charter Broker is Toby’s first step into the world of yachting which he has quickly got to grips with and gained a good level of knowledge of the charter industry, including the different charter locations, cruising grounds and the Sunseeker range. Outside of work, Toby leads a very busy life which consists of playing football, weight training, playing golf and enjoying a beer with his mates. When he isn’t participating in any of these activities, he’ll more than likely be watching his beloved Manchester United or the Formula 1 on TV. Toby has enjoyed his time at Sunseeker Charters so far, mainly due to the great team we have. He believes that the team is a nice blend of youth and experience and is looking forward to doing his part to help drive the business forward in the coming years.

Alice has always had a keen eye for design, and after graduating Bournemouth University with a first class honours degree in television production, she was eager to start a career in design and marketing. Alice was fortunate enough to join the team at Sunseeker Charters, where her role lets her put her talents to good use. She is especially looking forward to learning more about the marina industry and getting to know more about all of the sunny locations the yachts travel to. Growing up in Cornwall and moving to Bournemouth when she was 19, Alice has never been far from the sea. She loves the beach and the ocean, and is her happiest when the sun is shining. Outside of work, Alice is a social butterfly and spends a lot of time with friends, she loves being outdoors and going on nature walks.
