Hello,

I’m a fit senior that came to sailing late in life. I’ve been making up for that by immersing myself in sailing and training.

I have coastal cruising experience over the past 4 years. I have not been off shore but would like to experience that.

I have skipper level training in both ASA and NauticEd.

I have owned and worked on boats and can fix most anything on board.

Currently booked on a charter in St. Lucia, Dec 7-14. Available in the area Dec 15-24. Available elsewhere after March 1, 2025.

Thanks for looking.

Good handyman. Decent cook. Don’t mind cleaning.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesgain experiencetravel

I love being on the water. I view a cruise as a puzzle to be solved - logistics, weather, navigation, etc. When sailing I always try to optimize the efficiency of the craft.
