Hi there! My name is Marc, and I’m passionate about sailing, traveling, and water sports. I'm eager to keep sailing as much as I can!

I have a background as an industrial designer, with over 12 years of experience in the field. Some months ago, I decided to make a change in my professional life and am now working as a Dockhand at Marina Port Vell in Barcelona, where I assist with docking and undocking maneuvers, both from the dock and on the water using the tender.

I have experience in dinghy sailing; I started as a child with Optimist and later continued with windsurfing, Laser, and Hobie Cat. I’m also part of a sailing club in Barcelona, where I regularly sail a J80.

I hold a PER sailing license with qualification for the Balearic Islands, which is the Spanish equivalent to the RYA Day Skipper, and includes night watch experience. Additionally, I have completed STCW courses in Basic Safety Training, Medical First Aid.

I’m looking for an opportunity to join the crew of a sailboat crossing the Atlantic, from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, starting from November. I can contribute my skills while continuing to learn and develop in this amazing sport.

Apart from sailing, I enjoy most water sports and have been trying to learn surfing for years, despite the challenges in the Mediterranean. I also practice climbing, surfskating, and am always up for joining a hiking excursion. Beyond sports, I’m passionate about painting, drawing, and photography.

Personally, I’m a relaxed, easy-going, and very uncomplicated person. I’m also a passionate traveler who loves meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I’m comfortable living with people of diverse backgrounds and languages, and I’m always ready to contribute to a positive, collaborative atmosphere on board.

If you think I’d be a good fit for your crew, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to connect!

I am currently working as a Dockhand at Port Vell in Barcelona (home port of the Ineos Britannia team) until the end of the America's Cup.
Once it finishes, around mid-November, I would like to continue gaining experience in sailing. I have previously done week-long sailing trips, all coastal, navigating between islands and anchoring in small “calas” at night, in Greece and the Balearic Islands.
Now, I would like to take the next step and cross the Atlantic, from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean.
