I’m a retired charter boat operator, sailing instructor, and qualified chef with 40+ years’ experience, 60,000 nm sailing currently sailing aboard my own yacht Osprey, a luxury Oyster 56. I have extensive expertise in coastal and offshore passages, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean, as well as navigation, sail handling, liveaboard operations, and creating high-quality meals at sea, delivering safe, efficient, and enjoyable sailing experiences.

Boat descriptionJoin us aboard, a luxurious bluewater Oyster 56 built for adventure, comfort, and liveaboard life. She’s fast, stable, and perfect for Mediterranean cruising, island hopping, and offshore passages. Onboard you’ll find Starlink, aircon/heating, watermaker, washing machine, fully equipped galley, RIB dinghy with 20HP outboard, kayak, and inflatable toys. Safety is fully covered with life raft, EPIRB, life jackets, and multiple anchors. We generally anchor whenever possible, using marinas only when needed or preferred. We live aboard full-time and are led by a female Yachtmaster Instructor, ready to teach sailing skills and liveaboard life. Perfect for friendly, adventurous crew who want luxury, hands-on experience, and a taste of true life at sea.
