Aspiring sailor with a spirit of adaptation

Hi, I'm looking for someone to help me manage my boat, someone who's eager to learn and adaptable. I'm a sailing instructor, own a 48-foot sailing yacht, and am president of a sports association, which is my main occupation. I've currently brought my boat back to Italy from Greece to Crotone, Calabria, for a general refit. In May 2026, I'd like to put it back in the water for activities in the Aeolian Islands in June, then cross the Ionian Sea to Greece, reaching Lefkada. In July and August, I'll have a Bavaria 50 available for tours of the southern Ionian islands. In September, we'll head to Corfu with my Viva 48, and in October, if there are requests from Athens, I'll head to the Cyclades on an Ocean Star 56.1. I'm willing to pay for your board and any work you can do, depending on the number of people on board. Think about it and let me know if you're interested. The 2026 program can be found online - details when you contact me.

  • Boat descriptionIn 2018, 4 friends with a passion for nature and life in the open air, driven by the enthusiasm of one of them (Leo our captain), decided to buy what is now our "Pathfinder" boat. Stopped in a marina near Monfalcone for two years, Pathfinder was put back in the water after some refurbishment and refitting works in May 2018 and from Monfalcone, sailed all along the Italian Adriatic coast, up to Greece, where the last year it hosted several people for one / two week cruises in the beautiful archipelago of the Ionian Greek Islands in July and August. Pathfinder, a name that reflects the spirit of its captain Leo and his 3 friends (Luca, Lucio and Massimo), is a wonderful 48 foot VIVA Alaver. Designed by Alfeo Scattolin with the intent of creating a real "ocean racer" with a cruising interior, without sacrificing performance. The volumes are distributed over a considerable flotation (m.12) which, associated with a good width, allows a lot of elasticity in the distribution of the loads. This feature, often overlooked, is instead fundamental for a boat designed for different needs, from racing to long-range cruising. This boat proved to be particularly reliable in strong wind conditions. The displacement is 10 tons with a 4 ton ballast. Anyone who appreciates the vintage taste of solid wood interiors compared to the typical plasticoni of charter boats will be satisfied. Sailing is a pleasure to sail, it is fast and stable, it suffers little from the sea thanks to the powerful keel (2.7m fishing). The teak deck ensures a good seal in all conditions. The dislocation of the rooms is as follows: in the bow there is a large cabin with 4 seats on two levels, going aft there are two bathrooms, a double cabin on the left and a single cabin on the starboard side, a large dinette with a kitchen equipped with 3 sinks and a stove and oven, fridge, chart table, at the stern on the left wide double cabin, on the starboard room for the skipper. Tender with outboard USB sockets Fridge Kitchen with oven Photovoltaic system Wind power plant GPS navigator, autopilot, Depth, vhf radio, Epirb, lifeboat Outdoor / indoor shower Outdoor table and awning Sheets and towels (on request)
