Qualified and experienced skipper, for charters, tuition and deliveries
Good day to you!
Living and working on yachts is a passion and a way of life I thoroughly enjoy that keeps me grounded and humble.
Apart from being interested in any sailing yacht delivery around the Mediterranean, Europe or Asia, my other interest for upcoming 2025 season, would be to have the opportunity to skipper on a private yacht. This could either be with 1 private owner requiring an extra pair of hands and some company, or alternatively it could be for a family wanting to charter a catamaran whilst on vacation.
With my previous experience of running a sailing association as president and skipper, working in a similar role with an established charter company is also of interest to me. So I would be prepared to take care of all daily procedures on daily/weekly charters, from meet and greet the clients, daily briefings, offering tuition, preparing the boat to sail single handed happily without fuss. Charter work completed thus far has received over 500 5 star reviews to date on various platforms.
As a qualified instructor with NauticEd I can offer guests a little more to get them involved with the sailing. They may wish to feel a bit more part of the team, improve their current skills base or actually gain an international recognised licence such as the SLC (the American version of the ICC, accredited by the USCG).
Example of boats skippered to date:
Rival 38
Formosa 42
Van de Stadt, Taos (sloop) 34
Puma 34
Herreshoff schooner 78
Lagoon 44
Fountain Pajot Lucia 40
X Yacht 45
Nautitech Open 44
Plus a variety of small keel boats and charter/production boats
If the above seems of interest to you, please be in touch with any questions, as I'll be happy to reply and provide any references as required.
