Graeme McManus

Graeme hails from the quaint town of South Shields, nestled in the historic ship building region of Northeast England. Surrounded by a rich maritime heritage, it was only natural that he would start on a career at sea. At the young age of 16, he set sail on his Merchant Navy Cadetship, laying the foundation for his maritime journey. After earning his qualifications in 2011, Graeme began his career aboard various commercial vessels, gaining valuable experience across the maritime sector. In 2015, he made the transition into the yachting industry, where he has since served on yachts ranging from 55m to 99m. Most recently, he played a key role in the build of a 66m yacht – an experience that proved pivotal in his decision to pursue a career in shoreside management. Outside of work, Graeme enjoys travelling and spending quality time with his family.
