For me, sailing is a way to explore, meet people, and experience the sea with curiosity. On board, I enjoy a peaceful and participatory atmosphere: those who want can take the helm and learn, while those who prefer can enjoy the journey. I love alternating challenging sailing, quiet bays, and small ports.

I am a certified RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore (Sail) and have sailed over 15,000 nautical miles on sailing and motor yachts. I have sailed in the Mediterranean (Italy, Croatia, Greece, Spain), the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the English Channel, the North Sea, and Scandinavian and Scottish waters.

Highlights include a crossing from Puerto Rico to Bermuda and the Azores, continuing to the Netherlands; international boat transfers; and skippered cruises and offshore sailings in the Adriatic, including crossings between Croatia and Italy and routes to Jabuka, Palagruža, and Tremiti.

I have experience in autonomous night watchkeeping, short-handed navigation, weather planning, piloting, and onboard technical management. My training includes STCW Basic Safety, RYA Radar, Diesel Engine, Powerboat Level 2, SRC/VHF, and MCA AEC1/AEC2.
