Audrey has been involved in the family business from a very early age, working full time since leaving school in 1991 and has been managing the hire fleet since around 2000. When not working she is usually to be found spending quality time with her horse Frank!

Karin rejoined the firm in December 2010 and many of our regular customers may remember her from her first stint with us between 2000 and 2005. Karin moved over from her native Germany and didn't speak a great deal of English at first; however, given the large number of German clients to the business at that time, combined with her great computer skills, she was a real asset to the company. After her departure in 2005 she ventured abroad, travelled and sailed a bit, worked for a couple of years at our sister company Caley Marina, went to college and has now returned to good old Caley Cruisers for another shot! When not playing on boats she's an avid movie fan and likes road cycling and swimming.

Bethany has worked with Caley Cruisers since 2002. She was involved in the cleaning department until 2007 when she briefly departed to introduce her twin girls, Amellia and Emmy to the world. On her return, after a bit of arm twisting, she took up a job in the office and has flourished ever since. If you ever receive a reminder about your balance of hire being outstanding, it probably came from Bethany!!
When Bethany is not working, apart from being a busy mum, she can usually be spotted dancing, partying in general and is a big fan of Rock Ness so you'll never find her near work when that's on!

Derek joined Caley in July 2002, initially for a few days "scrubbing" the hulls but has remained here ever since. As in any good business he has worked his way up the ranks and was promoted to Maintenance Manager in 2008. Derek comes from a family business in Thurso, many of our northern customers will maybe know his well known family that used to have the Weigh Inn as well as a few other hospitable establishments in that neck of the woods. Derek is multi talented as well as being a great manager, he is also a part time model and you will find him dotted through most of our brochure. Derek's claim to fame: He still holds the record for the first non-stop return crossing of the notorious Pentland Firth on water-skis with a friend - set over 20 years ago!
Derek is a totally dedicated member of the team and most of the time he is at work, however on the rare exception that he's not, he is a keen cyclist, skiier as well as a bit of a wine boffin.

Another boomerang member of our team! Scott worked with the hire fleet back in the nineties. He was then Workshop Manager in Caley Marina and returned in April 2012 to re-join our happy team. When not at work Scott enjoys climbing & walking. He's a bit of a foodie too and a keen cook!

Alasdair has been working with us since February 2010. He's studying engineering at the University of the Highlands and works with us when he's not studying. Alasdair is another bilingual team member having spent many of his younger years in Germany, therefore he's a real asset for helping out with language skills during the hand over.

He's travelled extensively and spent time in Africa teaching IT.

A former police sergeant, Bill makes sure everyone's towing the thin blue line at Caley these days! Bill joined the company in the summer of 2009, initially just working Saturdays he has gradually risen through the ranks and is now a valued member of our maintenance team and an instructor in the summer. He's learned a lot about varnishing recently that he never knew he needed to know!
Bill likes keeping himself fit and will run the occasional 10K amongst other things as well as gardener and of course a bit of DIY!

Bob has been helping out with handover instruction since 2008. During his professional career he spent 19 years at sea as master of very large tankers and as a marine superinrendent. He more recently retired as chairman of Highland Airways after a spell as managing director of Highlands & Islands Airports. Bob is a direcor of Cromarty Firth Port Authority, Cruise Highlands and Highland Translink a start up bus company. He's a real valued member of our team and he loves helping out on our changeover days.

Gordie joined Caley when he was just a little lad of 16! That was over 25 years ago now and has been involved in every part of the boats ever since. Gordie is one of the team on the call out rota so if you've ever needed an engineer when you've been on holiday with us, he may well have been the one.

All the engineering and technical fitting out on the new boats is completed by Gordie, and of course, they work very well, all thanks to Gord.

Gordie is usually tinkering away with cars when he's not on duty and he's a keen football fan.

Andy joined the company in 2007 after moving up from Dartmouth, where he was the main Engineer on one of the boats working on the river Dart. Andy is also one of our duty engineers on the call out rota and is responsible for providing cover during the operating season and looking after all aspects of the maintenance during the winter.
Andy is a country guy at heart and loves spending his spare time with his working spaniel and clay pidgeon shooting.

Isobel has been with the company since 1985 and does a sterling job making sure everything is ship shape and Bristol fashion! She has a very challenging position and manages a team of 8 cleaning staff in the operating season.
When not working Isobel is a doting Grandmother of her lovely 2 grandchildren and when she has the time, which is not often, loves crafts.

Kevin and Richard have worked with the company for about 14 years now and are responsible for assisting with the fit out of all the new vessels on the fleet. They are multi talented and when not fitting out our boats are usually building houses. All of the building work on our site was completed by Kevin and Richard.

They are very busy all of the time and require several months notice to secure them. When they're not fitting out boats and building houses they are mad, keen sports enthusiasts and you'll find them kite surfing, cycling or any other 'extreme' sport that takes their fancy.
