Qualified and experienced skipper, for charters, tuition and deliveries

Good day to you and thank you for finding this space.

Apart from being interested in any sailing yacht delivery around the Mediterranean/Europe, my other interest for upcoming 2025 season, would be to have the opportunity to skipper on a private yacht. This could either be with 1 private owner requiring an extra pair of hands and some company, or alternatively it could be for a family wanting to charter a catamaran whilst on vacation.
With my previous experience of running a sailing association as president and skipper, working in a similar role with an established charter company is also of interest to me. So I would be prepared to take care of all daily procedures on day/weekly charters, from meet and greet the clients, daily briefings, offering tuition to the final wash down, single handed happily without fuss.

Other things that maybe of interest is that I've had over 500 5? reviews for my charter work to date on various platforms.
As a qualified instructor with NauticEd I can offer guests a little more to get them involved with the sailing if they wish to improve their skills.

Boats skippered to date:
Rival 38
Formosa 42
Van d e Stadt (sloop) 34
Herreshoff schooner 78
Lagoon 44
Fountain Pajot Lucia 40
X Yacht 45
Nautitech Open 44
Plus a variety of small keel boats and charter/production boats

If the above seems of interest to you, please be in touch with any questions, as I'll be happy to reply and provide any references as required.

Best Regards
Dave
