Reliable crew, deckhand and watch leader for Mediterranean sailing
My name is Giovanni Mele. I am based in Germany and I am looking for further practical sailing opportunities as competent crew, deckhand, watch leader, co-skipper support or delivery crew.
I hold the German SKS coastal skipper licence, SBF Sea and Inland, SRC, UBI and Bodensee licences A & D. I have around 1,160 nautical miles of sailing experience on sailing yachts up to 50 ft.
My experience includes yacht deliveries, longer passages, night watches and watch systems in the Mediterranean. I have sailed in the Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea and Tyrrhenian Sea, including routes between Croatia, Southern Italy, Sicily, the Aeolian Islands and Sardinia.
I am calm, reliable and safety-minded on board. I do not present myself as a professional charter skipper with many independent charter weeks yet. My goal is to build this experience step by step in a serious and responsible way.
I speak German and Italian fluently. My English is basic to intermediate, but I am actively improving my nautical English.
I am mainly interested in:
- yacht deliveries
- mile building passages
- coastal sailing
- watch leader roles
- co-skipper support
- practical sailing opportunities in the Mediterranean
I am not looking for party trips. I prefer serious, respectful crews, good seamanship and clear communication on board.
Because I work full-time in Germany, I am available with prior notice, depending on my work schedule and holiday approval.
