Introduction

Experienced and dynamic Yacht Captain with over 29 years at sea, holding a Yacht Master Unlimited certificate. Proven track record in leading private and charter programs on both motor and sailing yachts ranging up to 56 meters. Known for a hands-on leadership style, strong technical background, and excellent crew management skills. My experience spans Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern operations. I am also currently enrolled in a UK-based Superyacht Survey Diploma. Discreet, reliable, and adaptable — ready to lead with professionalism and confidence.

Hobby e Interests
I enjoy traveling with my family, sailing, classic yacht history, and learning about different maritime cultures. In my downtime, I focus on marine technologies, writing, and developing educational tools related to yachting. I also love exploring local food and nature whenever time permits.
