CREW Benjamin Pickersgill - Captain / Stew / Chef Ben grew up in the Solent area of the UK where he cut his teeth racing from an early age. He graduated from Falmouth University and was awarded a postgraduate scholarship by the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Things changed however when a chance encounter with former Sunsail boss Chris Gordon culminated in being offered a job in Phuket with Chris Craft Asia- Ben hasn t looked back since. It was during his time in Thailand that his love for spicy food developed a fascination in Asian cuisine, one that he continues in his work afloat. Ben and Oyster yachts go back a number of years. He assisted in the refit of Oyster 100 Penelope in Southampton, was a member of her foredeck team during the Oyster 2014 Regatta and delivered the boat to Falmouth Harbour, Antigua for the winter season. His work on the water did not go under the superyacht radar and he also has two seasons on a 60 metre Perini Navi ketch under his belt as bosun and chase boat driver. He also has broad racing background on a wide variety of yachts. From 100 year old classic yachts in the UK to being part of the shore team for Alex Thompson during his Vendee Globe campaign in 2015/16.
