Jeroen Frech - Captain

On 18th May1999 a new era started for Jeroen Frech, alias captain Jerry. He refitted the classic sailing yacht L'Iliade completely for sailing and diving charters. It was Jerry's dream to maintain a classic sailing yacht whilst combining his two passions: sailing and diving.

After Jerry obtained his business degree in economics he combined these landward interests and his eager for water. His dream became reality. He refitted the classic sailing yacht L'Iliade completely for sailing and diving charters.

It´s not surprising that Jerry developed a passion for sailing. He first came in contact with the helm at the age of one. Together with his father he sailed an old Dutch barge on the Dutch lakes for many years.

Jerry attended the United Kingdom Sailing Academy. Now as a RYA Commercially Endorsed Yacht Master he is able to provide you with safety and sailing knowledge up to the highest standard. With more than 35.000 miles under his belt he is able to tell you some great stories in English, French, German and, of course, Dutch. He obtained his passion for diving during a holiday in France with friends. He continued diving and became a qualified PADI Dive Instructor. He will guide you through the beauty of this still undiscovered world and can even certify you as PADI Open Water diver during your stay on board.
