James Teague

Co-Founder & Yacht Charter Broker

For James Teague, sailing is more than a profession—it’s a lifelong passion that began at age five, selling crabs off the back of a charter yacht in the Ionian Sea to fund his next ice cream. That early taste of yacht life sparked a love for the water that has shaped his career ever since.

James founded High Tide Yacht Charters after working with some of the most respected names in the industry, gaining deep, practical knowledge of both the bareboat and crewed charter markets. With a particular focus on catamarans in Greece, Croatia, the Amalfi Coast, and the Caribbean, he blends sharp market insight with real sailing experience to deliver unforgettable charter experiences.

A keen sailor himself, James has raced Sigma 33s and is currently a regular crew member aboard an X-Yachts X40. He completed the British Keelboat Academy programme in 2023/24 and frequently represents High Tide at key international events, including the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, the EMMYS Yacht Show (2023, 2024 & 2025), and the 2024 CRO.Y.A. Charter Show in Croatia.

Known for his attention to detail and client-first approach, James specialises in crafting bespoke charter itineraries that align seamlessly with each guest’s dream escape—whether that’s exploring hidden coves in the Cyclades or sipping sundowners off the coast of Capri.

Andy Teague

Co-Founder & Business Development Manager

Andy Teague is a lifelong sailor whose passion for the sea drives everything he does at High Tide Yacht Charters. An accomplished yachtsman, Andy has sailed in Greece, Croatia, Balearic Islands, and the Caribbean, and even crossed the Atlantic in the renowned ARC sailing race—finishing an impressive second. His extensive sailing résumé also includes organising seven Abersoch Mirror Weeks and two Abersoch Dinghy Weeks and an unsuccessful Round the Island Race attempted in 2024—to be retified in the future— reflecting his dedication to the yachting community in North Wales and beyond.

As a founding member and current Commodore of Abersoch Sailing Club, Andy is a key figure in developing the region’s sailing scene. A qualified instructor in sailing, powerboating, and personal watercraft (PWC), he regularly shares his skills with students of all ages. When he’s not working with clients or teaching, Andy enjoys cruising the coast aboard his 26ft yacht—humorously named ‘SUPERYACHT’—with fellow HYDRO Abersoch instructors Andy ‘Roo’ Johnson (known as the Blind Watersports Dad) and Jack Taylor. Andy’s enthusiasm, experience, and hands-on approach make him an essential part of the High Tide team.

Last and certainly not least, introducing Skipper Teague. Joining the Teague family in May 2022 Skipper, the working cocker spaniel, loves the outdoors just as much as the rest of his family.
