Shawn Lim, Skipper

Shawn became a part of the Ximula Sail family as a part-time crew when we conducted our first recruitment of #ximulasailors in 2017. With his prior work experience in the tourism & F&B industries, Shawn brings an exceptional level of attentiveness towards anticipating guests’ needs and the ability to think of solutions on his feet. His positive attitude towards learning and personal growth has fueled his progression to becoming our skipper.

Having served as the president of Singapore Polytechnic’s sailing club and represented the school in various regattas on regional and international levels, Shawn plays a critical role in equipping our team with sailing knowledge and setting up protocols for our operational processes. He has also sailed with the team on a sailing holiday to Anambas Islands, Indonesia (and made a beautiful video about his experience for our YouTube channel).

Other than working part-time as a skipper on board our yacht charters, Shawn is currently a Business student at Singapore Management University (SMU) and also a certified PADI Rescue Diver, swimming coach and lifeguard.

Shawn is Singaporean Chinese, and speaks English and Mandarin.
