I am looking for interesting breaks (some weeks) but also for a long term contract (with the right opportunity).

I am sailing since 1993 and passed my first licence in 1996. Mostly sailed yachts around 50 ft, experience with bigger yachts (80 ft) since 2010. Captain on Oyster 80 for 7 seasons. I would like to spend more time on boats > 80 ft. But smaller yachts also welcome.

I am healthy and strong, hands on, hardworking, reliable and punctual. Paying attention to detail, dedicated, have a good attitude and a sense of adventure. I like cooking and visiting new countries / cultures.
