Offshore and long term cruising, friendship, deliveries and taking care of your vessel as AEC1&2 engineer. Sailed 35k+Nm
Friendly Crew Wanted: https://www.crewbay.com/job/14799 <-- ideal for digital nomads, freelancers.
I’m an IT Security Professional with a lifelong passion for the sea. In November 2022, I shifted my IT career toward long-term leisure cruising—in a friendly spirit!
I've delivered or skippered multiple yachts/catamarans between 33 and 67ft.
Summary:
- where I am/tracking page and contact : https://SailingScanner.pl
- I'm not a professional seafarer with "gold straps" on my shoulders. I'm focused on fun sailing and not getting paid.
- 35000+ NM of sailing experience as skipper and crew which is good starting point to learn more.
-Yachmaster certification (including 2x Atlantic Ocean crossing on 46ft and 59ft catamaran and one Pacific crossing on 67ft/20m catamaran. I've crossed Panama canal 3 times on different boats)
- Full STCW Basic Sea Safety
- MCA AEC1 and AEC2 mechanic + hands on experience
- Tidy, healthy, no food-restrictions, no tattoos, no addictions (well, may be two: sailing and sailboat repairs)
- EU Citizenship / Schengen Passport (exp. 2031), B1/B2 visa (2034)
- Own safety equipment like 2x EPIRB, AIS + MOB, SART, Garmin InReach, Iridium Go, PFD + own worldwide insurance and GEOS subscription.
"McGyver" on board - with MCA AEC1 AEC2 certification:
I have some hands on experience maintaining outboard, diesel engines and electric, electronic, RF radio systems on the yacht as well hull maintenance. I feel comfortable with designing, configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting of electrical equipment like solar panels, charging controllers, gensets, inverters, power banks and battery management systems. I can manage refit projects of reasonable size and "mañana" like (difficult) providers. My rule of thumb is to leave yacht in better condition regardless if its charter, delivery or private yacht.

Experienced skipper, watch leader with great boat-technical knowledge
Met Bartek on a ~2 week delivery. His experience in passage making, skippering and watch leading capability shines through. Just as his interest and understanding of yacht mechanics and marine systems. He does not shy away from a challenge and strive to understand everything about the vessel he's on. On top of all that, he's also easy going, friendly and fun to spend time with at sea. Looking forward to future passages with him.
