Capt. Mike Arkley founded WavePirates and leads company direction, operational standards and client relationships as CEO. His role centres on company-level oversight and the relationship between the business and the clients it serves. Vessel delivery, surveying and owner-representation attendance are carried out by the operational captains and crew, who lead the practical work in the field. Mike provides the strategic leadership behind those activities, keeping his company responsibilities distinct from vessel operations and day-to-day passage command.
Captain Tristan Zinhard leads practical maritime operations as Principal Operational Captain. His work spans vessel delivery, relief command, survey operations and owner-representation attendance, connecting command of the vessel with technical and owner-side operational support. He brings passage command and technical project command together with client-facing operational leadership, so the practical work remains connected to the owner's requirements. Whether leading a passage or attending a vessel, his focus is the operational task and the communication between those aboard and the client.
