2011-2018: Extensive experience in race, charter, and delivery sailing

I am currently seeking professional sailing opportunities on a private or charter yacht, ideally for a single or double program in the Mediterranean this summer.

As an experienced skipper, I have extensive sailing knowledge across the Mediterranean, including the South of France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and Turkey. I have also sailed around Barcelona, the Costa Brava, and the Balearic Islands, handling sail yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts for charter, private use, deliveries, and boss trips when required. My sailing experience extends to the Azores, Canary Islands, Caribbean, transatlantic voyages, and northern Europe.

I am available for Atlantic crossings, deliveries, or winter season positions overseas, with a B1/B2 visa in hand.
