Captain David Burke
Captain
A highly experienced charter captain with over 20 years in yachting, Captain David Burke was born and raised on the rugged Atlantic coast of Ireland. He has long nurtured a passion for the sea, and began his yachting career at the ripe age of 20 while still at university. Over the years, he has moved up through the ranks and in 2006 he joined the 52m MY Sea Jewel as first mate. He was quickly promoted to captain, and held this position for the next nine years.
Next, Captain Burke took command of the very busy and successful charter yacht Wild Thyme which, under his command, became Aura, and he completed four successful seasons of back-to back charters with a lot of repeat clients. He joined Clicia in April 2019 and has been sailing with the owner, crew and guests ever since.
David has extensive experience of the Mediterranean, and when not on board, he enjoys spending time with his two children.
