Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am seeking a full-time position as a sailing yacht captain, open to both charter and private programs. With extensive experience managing high-performance sailing and luxury cruising vessels, I bring a strong background in world cruising and yacht racing, as well as expertise in team leadership, safety protocols, and exceptional guest service. My focus is on providing seamless, safe, and memorable experiences for owners and guests alike, ensuring the yacht is operated and maintained to the highest standards. I am fully committed to delivering professionalism, reliability, and a passion for the sea in every aspect of my work.

I have broad experience in new boat owner training, yacht deliveries, high performance yachts, sailboat racing, project management, new builds, crew safety and passage planning. If you are looking for expert training on your new vessel, or performance training in preparation to buy a boat, please contact me for more information and to discuss all your options.

STCW Master 500GT. Spanish, British and US professional certifications. Yacht skipper with more than 70.000 nautical miles experience in Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, Mediterranean, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean sea. Tidal and non-tidal waters. I sail since I’m 5 years old, competing in dinghies, in Laser class (Canary Islands champion 98-99, Spanish national team 98-00) and from then until now in racing yachts as person in charge of many boats, maintenance crew, delivery crew and racing crew and chef.
