Master of Yachts & Race Coach. 40+ years experience. Expert in performance & safety. Open for 2026 season. Fair Winds
Greetings,
I am a professional skipper and race coach with over 40 years of experience on the water, specializing in offshore navigation and premium guest experiences across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic. My background as an architect for two decades defines my approach to seamanship, combining meticulous technical rigor with an intuitive understanding of yacht aesthetics and functional excellence.
Holding Master of Yachts, Yachtmaster, ENG1, and STCW certifications, I prioritize absolute safety and performance. My expertise is not limited to point A to point B navigation, I focus on the nuances of the journey, from optimizing sail trim on high performance monohulls to ensuring the stable comfort of a Lagoon catamaran.
I maintain a strictly professional, smoke free, and tattoo free profile, reflecting the high standards of the private and premium charter sectors. Beyond my technical command, I offer my guests an insider’s perspective on the most authentic coastal locations, secret anchorages, and local culinary gems, all while maintaining a calm, encouraging, and highly organized environment on board.
Whether you require a captain for a complex delivery, a technical instructor for offshore training, or a dedicated professional to lead a high end seasonal charter, I deliver reliability and a superior standard of hospitality.
I look forward to discussing how my dual expertise in technical sailing and guest relations can support your next project.
Fair winds,
Leonardo Cunha
