Wavysail has appointed Ben Barker as general manager.
Previously MD at Extreme Destinations, part of the Extreme Sports media brand, Ben brings his experience in adventure tourism to the new role.
The appointment comes as Wavysail is gearing up for its latest expeditions to some of the most remote places on Earth.
The launch of sister company ExpeditionZero’s first net-zero yacht in 2026 is set to mark Wavysail as the first net-zero sailing adventure company.
“Joining Wavysail at this moment of growth is an incredible opportunity,” said Ben. “The combination of adventure sailing, sustainability, and meaningful exploration aligns perfectly with my thirst for building impactful experiences.
“ExpeditionZero’s commitment to net-zero adventure sailing is a game-changer. I look forward to working with the team to push boundaries and inspire more people to explore the world by sea.”
Andrew Cowen, CEO and co-founder of Wavysail, added: “The general manager role is a pivotal position for us, and we had the privilege of interviewing some exceptional candidates.
“Ben stood out for his passion, commercial expertise, and proven leadership in building global adventure brands. Ben’s insights and energy are already making a difference.”
