Experienced Yachtmaster Ocean & Sailing Instructor Available for Atlantic Crossing (from mid-November 2025)

Hi there,

I'm Gerhard, a relaxed and friendly sailor with over 20,000 nautical miles under my belt. I'm a certified RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Ocean, hold the Austrian FB4, and work professionally as a sailing instructor. I’m currently looking for an ocean crossing opportunity starting mid-November 2025 at the earliest.

I bring to the crew:

Extensive offshore experience

SRC & LRC licenses

STCW and valid ENG1

A passion for celestial navigation—happy to teach or practice with others onboard

A calm and cooperative attitude, with years of experience working with diverse crews

If you're looking for competent, easy-going support for your crossing, I’d love to hear from you.

Fair winds,Gerhard
