Captain Randall Petersen:
Captain Randall Petersen has been in yachting for 20 years and is originally from Jacksonville, Florida, but currently resides in Mallorca, Spain. Randall grew up racing sailboats and has a lifelong love of the sea. During his career he has served aboard such vessels as Huntress, Carmac VII, Matanthar, Passion, KingFisher, and Altitude. He holds a USCG 1600 ton Master's license and a BFA degree in Theatre. Randall has cruised extensively in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Pacific, US East & West coasts, and South and Central America and enjoys finding the hidden gems of these cruising grounds. He has been chartering for his entire yachting career and is very pleased to be taking command of M/Y One More Toy.
First Mate Jules Phillimore was raised in London, England. His enthusiasm for boats started at an early age and has been sailing for many years. He has raced at Cowes Week in the Isle of Wight many times and especially enjoys racing Hobie cats. One More Toy is his first “Motor” Yacht. Prior to that, he was 1st Mate on the schooner S/Y Eliza. Julian is adventurous, distinguished, entertaining and sociable. His easy disposition makes him a popular crewmember on board with all guests. Anything to do with water keeps him happy and he is also a keen skier and skeet shooter.
Engineer Mark Mudge Growing up in Milford, CT Mark fell in love with his backyard playground of Long Island Sound. During the summers he could be found playing on those waters or working on the boats that plied them. Mark’s longest stint away from the shore was the time he spent in the mountains of Denver where he went to earn his Degree in Diesel Engine Technology. After graduation, the call of the ocean lured Mark to the world’s yachting capital in Florida where he spent eight years at one of the premier yacht maintenance facilities. In working under (and then training) these master marine craftsman Mark gained his passion for the yachting industry so the next logical step was to sign on as a crewmember and head out to Sea. M/Y One More Toy is the third yacht the captain and engineer have worked on together. He has since spent the last seven years serving as Chief Engineer and a valuable team member aboard large yachts. AKA “Sparky” will do everything in his power to ensure that our guest’s time aboard One More Toy goes off without a hitch and that it is the time of their lives.
