“Few founders can fuse top-end travel with proper adventure quite like Geordie Mackay Lewis and Jimmy Carroll, two former British Army captains who founded Pelorus in 2017, using many of the skills they learned on long-range desert patrols and helicopter operations. While the focus is on bespoke global adventures planned with military precision, the team are also seriously connected, so can organize everything from stays at Scottish distillers’ private manor houses to learning stunt choreography with the Mission Impossible teams. The team also launched Pelorus Yachting in 2019, organizing next-level charters from the fjords to the Falklands.”
