Watch: Cruising off of Beachy Head

Ionian Greece to Tunisia (Gulf of Hammamet)

I am a liveaboard owner & Skipper.
I'm an old Sea dog with a lifetime of experience and qualifications to match.

After cruising the Ionian and Adriatic throughout the Summer, it will be time to head South again and take my yacht back to her Winter home in Tunisia.

Applicants should have Day skipper or an equivalent certificate. Sailors who want to build some miles and do some night sailing as well as days. There will be night watches but you will be trained by myself or my 2nd in command so you will eventually have the confidence and experience to stand a solo night watch for 3 hours. This is an important evolution if you intend to progress to Yachtmaster.

There will be a mix of day sailing and a couple of longer non stop passages so it's an opportunity to build miles, enjoy the sailing too (as it isn't really a delivery) we will be anchoring and staying in marinas occasionally and exploring places that we did not stop at on the outward leg.

If you want to have fun and gain more advanced experience and clock up some decent mileage on a well equipped and safe boat.

Not a reliable person. Stay away

Went on a sailing trip with Ritchy. He appeared to be not a trustworthy and reliable seaman. He has lots of stress and problems on the boat while sailing. If he doesn't like you, he can just kick you out from his boat at any stop.

Competent and safe skipper. Well kept yacht.

Went on a lovley and lively day sail on the solent with Richy.I find him to be a competent skipper with attention to safety and knows his boat well. he is also quite a tidy skipper (to my liking) and always keeps the cockpit clutter free. The boat sails well and has all the safety equipment. It is very well maintained and looked after, really clean on the inside too. I would recommend sailing with him, and look forward to do so myself.
