Volunteer Crew – European Inland Waterways Available for vessel transfers and fleet repositioning
Who I am
I'm 48 years old and work in the Italian banking sector. In recent years, I've developed a strong passion for European inland navigation, turning it into a growth and training project.
My goal is to gain practical experience as a reliable crew member on river vessels, supporting experienced skippers during vessel transfers, charter fleet repositioning, and inland waterway voyages.
I'm not looking for a professional skipper position. I'm interested in learning, navigating, contributing onboard, and becoming a valuable member of the crew.
My goal is to gain real-world experience.
For this reason, I'm available for collaborations that only include board and lodging on board, and reimbursement of travel expenses.
My approach
Reliability, team spirit, a sense of responsibility, adaptability, and a desire to learn are the values I bring on board.
I have a strong interest in:
European canals and rivers;
Houseboats and motorboats for inland navigation, especially between 10 and 18 meters;
Navigation techniques;
I am available for short transfers and crewing opportunities, primarily during the preparatory and return sailing seasons.
