Tel: +34 971 676011
David has been involved with boats since childhood whilst his career with a luxury yacht manufacturer spans more than two decades.
A move to Mallorca four years ago fulfilled David’s dream to continue his passion for luxury power boats but in the warm, dry climate of the Mediterranean. Joining Vitesse Yachts in 2008, David holds dual roles of joint-managing the company with Diane and heading up the Service Support Department keeping the fleet ship-shape and ready to go.
David's other passion is sports cars; he likes nothing better than to spend time in the garage with his head under the bonnet of his Morgan getting her ready for a spin around this stunning island. |

Tel: +34 971 676011
Since the tender age of eight Will has been brought up on yachting enjoying his parents’ boats in Poole. But it was when he watched the original Cowes–Torquay powerboat race as a young lad that he was inspired to get involved resulting in a decade of UK and international racing at the highest level.
Eventually Will decided to slow down and had a more sedate life in corporate powerboat charter. After a while, fed up with constant rain, Will moved to Mallorca to join Vitesse Yachts’ management team where his passion for boats became a full-time career.
Will's role within the company has changed over the years and, whilst still very much hands-on, he’s now focussed on the new Humber Rib venture, brokerage and looking after marketing. |

Paul Weldon - CEO
Tel: +34 971 676011
Paul has a long history with boating, over 30 years, as he qualified as an instructor in both waterskiing and scuba diving from an early age – skills that have been passed on to his two children age 12 and 13 who are now both qualified open water divers.
Paul first came across Vitesse Yachts 11 years ago when he chartered a yacht for a family holiday in Mallorca. He was so taken with the Balearics that he had three more years of chartering from Vitesse Yachts until finally buying his own boat, which he of course entrusted to the company to manage.
Paul bought into Vitesse Yachts in 2008 and, although his main business interests are in England, he is helping to direct the company's growth and maintain its excellent reputation in the Balearics.
Paul and his family try to spend as much time as possible on the Balearics which have gradually become their second home |
