Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I´m Alvaro, I like the sea, the beach, socializing, meeting new people and exciting places. I'm a 200gt Captain , Graduated in labor relations and human resources, Master in economics and Master in pedagogy. I have a lifeguard certificate and experience in that job. I can swim and dive very well, I also have diving certified by PADI

I wish I could be a crew together with my partner Rocio. She is fabulous, full of joy and unafraid of the unknown. She is graduated as Social worker and also a teacher as me, and she is passionate about traveling and a tireless worker.

We have SCTW certificates, USA Visa, eng1 and experience on a 47 meter boat (Modoc) from the NGO Earthrace, working as an engineer, stewardess and cooking for the crew, managing crane and auxiliary boats. During 2022, we have been crew members of a beautiful 18-meter sailboat, working for its owners and captain for 6 months traveling more than 2400 nautical miles manning the ship with total autonomy. In 2023 we have worked for Pink Shrimp, a 36 meter vessel as deckhand and Stewart.
We are currently working on a 31-meter sailboat sailing in the Pacific.

We speak english, spanish and italian. We are responsible, decisive, educated and hard-working.

We take advantage of every moment on land to obtain new certifications, and of course we have references that guarantee our previous work
