Looking for a Captain, Deckhand, Bosun or Laundry position. Ready immediately.

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 3087 hours at sea (including 1,800.5 hours as a captain) and covered 12,581.4 NM (7,508.4 NM as a skipper).

Until recently, I was working as a Skipper and Chief Experience Officer with G Adventures, leading sailing trips across the Cyclades and Saronic Gulf in Greece this past season. Operating a 15-meter Bavaria 51 Cruiser sailboat, I independently handled most of the tasks related to the boat’s operation, including docking, undocking, and ensuring safety at sea. I guided weekly voyages for up to 8 passengers, many of whom were new to sailing, with a strong focus on safety. Additionally, I planned routes, managed the yacht's finances, and catered 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.
