TOTAL

Captain Bradley Bulmer
Nationality: South African
Languages: English

Description:

Bradley grew up on the east coast of South Africa in the small beach town of Umhlanga Rocks. Spending his days surfing after school and as much time as possible on the beach laid the foundation for his future career on the water. At just 17 years old, he was given the opportunity to join a vessel, and he has never looked back.

Now in his 18th year in yachting, Bradley still loves every day at sea. A passionate watersports enthusiast and self-confessed adrenaline junkie, he enjoys everything fast, motorcycles, jet skis, race cars, and when things slow down, he can usually be found surfing whenever the swell is right.

One of his favorite aspects of M/Y TOTAL, beyond her striking appearance and high-performance tender, is the jet drive system. The added challenge compared to conventional drive vessels gives the yacht a unique and rewarding feel.

The Bahamas, particularly the Exumas, rank at the very top of Bradley’s list of favorite cruising destinations, while the Seychelles stand out as another unforgettable location he would love to revisit. When it comes to land destinations, he considers himself spoiled growing up in South Africa, where the wildlife and natural beauty are truly unparalleled, and he returns whenever possible.

The crew aboard M/Y TOTAL are best described as family. Bradley feels incredibly fortunate to work alongside his wife, Lucie, and a team made up of close friends and colleagues he has known for decades.

Whether guests are seeking a dream holiday with a dynamic crew, adrenaline-filled adventure, or simply the chance to relax with a cocktail in one of the most beautiful places in the world, M/Y TOTAL offers an unforgettable superyacht experience.



Chief Stewardess Lucie Bulmer
Nationality: Czech
Languages: English, Czech

Description:

Lucie is originally from the Czech Republic. She discovered yachting by chance while traveling through the Caribbean, where she quickly fell in love with the industry and the ocean lifestyle.

She has a strong passion for sports, particularly fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Beyond life on board, Lucie enjoys history, geography, hiking, and spending time with animals, all of which reflect her love for both learning and nature.

What she loves most about the yacht is the impressive speed and the unique combination of elegance and muscular performance. The Bahamas are her favorite yachting destination, with their crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and abundant marine life, places she believes are truly unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Guests are invited to join Lucie and the crew for an unforgettable adventure filled with beautiful excursions, delicious cocktails, and plenty of happy laughter.



Deckhand Andrew Shuan Duckham
Nationality: South African
Languages: English

Description:

Andrew was born and raised in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, and began his yachting career in 2023. His interest in the industry was sparked while watching the Monaco Grand Prix, where seeing the luxury yachts inspired his desire to travel and be part of life aboard high-end vessels.

In his free time, Andrew enjoys scuba diving and off-road motorbike riding through the mountains and forests back home, as well as watching motorsport and staying active through regular workouts.

One of his favorite aspects of M/Y TOTAL is the incredible balance of fun and adventure on board. From the exciting watersports package, including jet skis and the impressive Lomac tender, to the expertly prepared cocktails and drinks by the stewardess, the yacht offers something for everyone.

Andrew believes M/Y TOTAL is the perfect boat for a relaxing day on the water, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the beautiful Bahamas weather.

Looking ahead, one of the destinations he would most love to explore is Austria, a part of the world he has not yet had the opportunity to visit.
