Yachtmaster Offshore couple, experienced and professional sailors

Ahoy! We are Luca and Georgia, both RYA Yachtmasters (offshore) with experience working on commercial and private sailboats in Australia, the South Pacific and Europe. We both have Bachelors in Journalism and Public Relations, but our true passion is sailing and living on the water.
After cruising the Western Australian coast on our own 34ft sailing yacht, we pursued a career in sailing. For three summers we have worked as Skipper & Deckhand/Tour Guide team on a commercial 43ft catamaran in Perth, Western Australia. We have spent the winters working as Deckhand & Hostess on a private 64ft monohull in Europe and crewed on a fishing charter with multiple power vessels, as well as further travels on our own sailboat in Western Australia.
Luca is a European citizen from Italy (and Australian citizen) and Georgia is an Australian citizen. We are currently employed as a crew couple on a 45ft sailing catamaran in the BVIs. However we are open to different experiences on a short term basis during our time off. We love the cruising lifestyle, sailing, spearfishing, scuba and freediving, living on the ocean and sharing this lifestyle with others.
We come as a team and travel and work together. We easily get along with others and work well in larger teams too. We are hard workers and do every task to the best our ability. We are looking for unique experiences in hard to reach places, deliveries and remote cruising. We love all water sports, fishing and exploring!
