About me
I’m a British/Turkish, lifelong sailor and professional yacht master. My partner Seçil and I live aboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54 DS. We began our round-the-world voyage from Bodrum in April 2026. I enjoy meeting fellow sailors, exploring new destinations and sharing life at sea.
I speak English (high), Spanish (medium)
Nautical experience
I've sailed since childhood and competed in the Olympic Laser class as a member of the Turkish National Sailing Team.
I hold an IYT/MCA Yachtmaster Ocean (200 GT) with Commercial Endorsed qualification and a Turkish Commercial Yachtmaster licence (500 GT). I am also a certified sailing instructor with both IYT and the Turkish Sailing Federation.
My experience includes offshore cruising, international yacht deliveries, competitive racing, navigation, seamanship and professional sailing instruction.
From 2015 to 2023, I owned and operated Global Yacht Delivery, a UK-based company specialising in international yacht deliveries.
Over the years, I've trained numerous sailors and participated in hundreds of yacht races, both as a competitor and with my students.
Since April 2026, I've been undertaking a round-the-world sailing voyage aboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54 DS, together with my partner Seçil.
