With a lifelong dedication to sailing and over 15 years of offshore experience, I offer a blend of practical expertise and refined guest hospitality. Having spent the last 10 years in skippering roles, I bring a deep understanding of yacht operations, from precision navigation to comprehensive yacht maintenance and management.
