Looking for a Captain, Deckhand, Bosun or Laundry position. Ready in few weeks.
Hello,
My passion for the sea began in 2004 when I joined the sea scouts. As part of my team, I gained valuable skills and qualifications throughout my sailing journey, which I later passed on to younger students. To date, I have spent 2,920.5 hours at sea (including 1,634 hours as a captain) and covered 11,838.4 NM (6,765.4 NM as a skipper).
Currently, I am working as a Skipper and Chief Experience Officer with G Adventures, leading sailing trips across the Cyclades and Saronic Gulf in Greece this season. Operating a 15-meter Bavaria 51 Cruiser sailboat, I independently handle most of the tasks related to the boat’s operation, including docking, undocking, and ensuring safety at sea. I guide weekly voyages for up to 8 passengers, many of whom are new to sailing, with a strong focus on safety. Additionally, I plan routes, manage the yacht's finances, and cater to passengers' needs, while sharing insights into local communities to create an unforgettable holiday experience.
In my previous role as a delivery skipper, I brought a sailboat from northern Germany to Sicily along the Western European Atlantic coast, through southern Spain, and via the Balearic Islands and Sardinia. I recruited and managed an international crew, planned the route, navigated under delivery deadlines, and ensured the crew's capabilities were well-considered. I also maintained the boat's equipment, engine, and sails, and oversaw the yacht’s budget.
In 2017, I worked as a skipper in the Mediterranean Sea, organizing cruises on a 10.45-meter sailboat for 4-6 passengers. I planned routes and navigated with consideration for places of interest, weather reports, and the crew’s abilities. My responsibilities included caring for passengers and managing the yacht's finances. After the season, I conducted maintenance, refit, and restoration work on the boat.
I am eager to set sail again, using my experience and knowledge while gaining new skills along the way. I am ready for hard work and new adventures aboard your sailboat or motorboat.
