Interview with James Humphreys from Cook Islands

Originally from the Cook Islands, James Humphreys is now based in the Gold Coast with his young family. Growing up on the island of Atiu, Cook Islands, a passion for the ocean came naturally to him. After leaving the Cook Islands James studied Tourism Management and has over 15 years of experience across multiple tourism sectors including four years managing a Gold Coast charter yacht company with a fleet of four Superyachts and a Game Fishing vessel before joining the team at Yachtsmen International as a luxury yacht broker.His extensive commercial charter knowledge and sound vessel operation skills provide a wealth of experience in survey requirements, foreign-flag registration, crewing, refits, scheduled maintenance, and commercial charter legislation. It was, therefore, a natural progression for James to join the Maritime Cook Islands team as a Ships Register Agent. We spoke to James about his role with the registry.
