Experienced 15k NM Captain / 1st Mate | Photographer | Charters & Expeditions
Hi! I am a calm, positive, and highly reliable maritime professional with over 12 years of experience and 15,000+ Nautical Miles logged.
I am available worldwide as either Captain or First Mate / Co-Skipper for both high-end commercial charters and remote offshore expeditions / deliveries.
Bonus Skill: I am an experienced photographer. I can capture stunning, high-quality camera and smartphone media of the vessel, wild landscapes, and guests during the voyage — a major asset for expedition media reports or charter marketing.
Key Experience & Qualifications:
Licenses: International Bareboat Skipper, Marine Communication VHF (SRC).
Commercial Charters: Organized and skippered 45+ week-long cruises globally (Seychelles, Turkey, Greece, Norway, Thailand). Expert in managing large-scale 12-yacht flotillas and ensuring top-tier guest hospitality.
Extreme Navigation: Skippered remote Pacific expeditions to the Kuril Islands (Onekotan) and Commander Islands (Bering & Medny). Experienced in navigating through heavy fog, strong currents, and zero coastal infrastructure.
Vessels Handled: Monohulls up to 55ft and modern catamarans up to 50ft (extensive hands-on experience on Bali 4.8).
Technical Background: Assisted in a complete yacht refit and preparation for a round-the-world expedition in late 2025. Strong troubleshooting skills for onboard systems.
Personal Style: 3 years as a professional windsurfing/kitesurfing instructor. This background gives me an intuitive understanding of weather/wind patterns and exceptional communication skills with guests and crew.
I am a non-smoker with no visible tattoos, physically fit, and treat the sea with the highest respect.
Fully verified digital logbook and references from yacht owners are available upon request.
Ready to join a charter, ocean passage, or a wild expedition crew!
