Introduction

Ahoy ! I’m a Spanish guy actually residing in Scotland. I love the ocean since I was kid, i practice surf as main sport, I’m Yatch Captain up to 500 GT , I’m RYA Windsurf Instructor, RYA Dinghy Sailing Instructor, RYA Wingsurf Instructor .
I’m available to do deliveries as a Captain, Deckhand or competent crew . Long or short passages. As a background I have delivered a 30 foot classic sailboat in 2020 from Bermuda to Spain, just myself and one crew and singlehanded from Azores to Benicarlo. 2021-2022 I delivered a 38 foot sailboat from Isle Of Wight to Seychelles with owners on board. And been teaching water sports the summer 2023 in Sardinia. April 2024 competent crew and cook on a Fountain Pajot 59 Samana in east coast of Australia for about four months.
I’m open minded and easygoing person who loves to help, good at solving problems, good with maintenance and fixing things, and always ready for the adventures .
Fair winds !

I’ve been living Panama for 10 years I had a small building company and a property management business then I moved to UK with my boys, they wanted to study here so we decide to make the move before Brexit , they grown up and now it’s time for me… I’m working as maintenance technician, or multi trade operative, doing some deliveries when I’ve got the chance , but planning to change and expend as much time on the sea as posible, to travel , discover new places and meet new people. I’m interested in permaculture and slow living , basically simplify things in a way that oceans and nature will be the base for my new lifestyle. I like water sports Dinghy Sailing, Windsurf, Surf, Wingfoil, I’m an instructor by RYA and I will teach you if you’re keen to learn.
