Professional Skipper & Delivery Captain | 10,000nm | Mediterranean • Atlantic · Indian Ocean · Pacific
Portuguese skipper with a Patrão de Costa licence (ICC/Coastal Skipper equivalent) including VHF/SRC certification and 10,000+ nautical miles of offshore experience across the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Pacific.
I run my own maritime tourism company in Lisbon — SailEx Náutica — managing daily charters, crew and fleet operations. Recent highlights include a 900nm delivery from Lisbon to Girona aboard a Lagoon 46, and private yatch work in Ibiza.
Experienced with monohulls and catamarans (Lagoon 38, 42, 46), as well as motorboats (46, 58 and capable of other dimensions), comfortable with close-quarter manoeuvring and offshore passages. I bring calm leadership, strong seamanship and a genuine focus on the guest experience — with 10+ years working with families and children as a surf and gymnastics instructor.
Available for: skippered charters, deliveries, lead deckhand and sailing instruction.
Languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish (fluent) · French (intermediate)
