Fred Coppoolse, from Holland, has been cruising the Caribbean and East Coast of America since 1990. An expert in the West Epoxy System of boat construction, Fred has built and sailed seven boats from 40 to 47 feet. BUSTER is Fred's first "store-bought" yacht - but he has completely customized her! A tireless reader with wide musical tastes, Fred’s background is in graphic arts and design. He started his sailing career over thirty years ago in the North Sea and happily retired from a successful marine distribution business to the warmer climes of the Southern Caribbean. With a natural love of travel and adventure, Fred spent time "in between boats" traveling through Australia and Indonesia. A cordial and friendly host, Fred is a great fan of American hospitality, and speaks English fluently (along with Dutch and German) and likes to return the warm welcome he has experienced in his worldwide travels. Fred has called the Grenadines home for over a decade, having run his prior yacht Buster as the "house yacht" at the luxury Young Island Resort for several seasons. After welcoming the hotel's discerning guests aboard for short sails, Fred now very much enjoys term charters and the opportunity to show guests more of the beautiful Caribbean cruising grounds. For those interested in sailing - from beginners to would-be world cruisers, or even celestial navigation - Fred is a willing and able teacher. He is a tireless snorkel instructor, trawls an optimistic fishing line and has learned to BBQ like a Texan, but he's trading in the windsurfer for a new sea kayak!
