Dreamworld · The Crewtrips family

MEET THE
CREW

Four of us aboard Dreamworld — and two bunks still going spare. Give a card a nudge and say hello.

Simon, the skipper and chief engineer, aboard Dreamworld
Simon
Skipper & Chief Engineer

Grew up sailing the world with his parents, learning the trade beside his dad, Paul. Now a professional Chief Engineer on superyachts and commercial ships — he keeps Dreamworld sea-ready and skippers her himself with the family aboard. Holds an RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore ticket, working toward Master 200. He’s the one who’ll meet you on the dock.

Laura, keeper of order and the ship’s bookkeeper
Laura
Keeper of Order
the ship’s bookkeeper, officially

Simon’s partner and mum to their two. She started out in animal welfare, then retrained as a bookkeeper — sensible, given the rest of this crew. Together since 2012-ish (nobody remembers the exact date). Happiest with family close and a trip on the horizon.

Tristan, nicknamed Bob, the chief adventurer, holding his toy tiger
Tristan
“Bob”
Chief Adventurer
first mate in training

Six years old and a born adventurer. By his first birthday he’d already logged around 3,000 nautical miles and visited ten-plus countries. He loves learning gear and boats beside Simon — and is fiercely devoted to his toy tigers.

Roxy, the newest recruit, smiling
Roxy
Newest Recruit

Our newest recruit — still under a year old and not yet been to sea. For now she’s busy discovering the world one nap at a time. Plenty more of her story still to come.

ROOM FOR 2 MORE

The best seat aboard is the spare one

You’ve met the four of us. There’s room on the crew for two more — and it might just be you.

Could your name join the crew?
