About

For over 10 years I’ve been working as a professional skipper for holiday providers such as Sailactive, Oceans11, Yoga&Sail, SailTheBlue, AlmaSailing, as well as for exclusive private charters, yacht deliveries, and skipper trainings. Sailing areas: entire Mediterranean, Thailand, Caribbean, Florida, North Sea, English Channel, Canary Islands, Azores. I’ve completed six Atlantic crossings, including four directly for the owners (in both directions). For five years, I taught the inland sailing license at the university sports department and gave SKS (coastal license) trainings. I now offer advanced skipper trainings and “Train the Trainer” programs. Experienced with yachts up to Sunreef 74 (Atlantic crossing and preparation) and Volvo Open 70 (from the Solent across the Bay of Biscay to Vigo). What crew members appreciate most about me is that I stay calm and in control in every situation, can explain things clearly, and am a sociable, humorous person who reads and manages group dynamics well.
