Cool & Chill Multilingual Sailor, Culinary Artist, Tech Enthusiast, and Storyteller
Greetings, Captains & Fellow Sailors!
I’m a 48-year-old Italian-Croatian sailor, chef, and problem-solver, fluent in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Croatian, and capable of understanding Russian, Portuguese, and other Slavic languages. Standing at 190 cm (6’3”), strong-built, and active, I keep fit through gym training, weightlifting, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—bringing both physical endurance and mental discipline to life at sea.
Sailing Experience & Skills
? Well-Traveled Sailor – I’ve sailed extensively, including:
Panama to Colombia (multiple times) aboard a maxi ketch, navigating the Caribbean waters and San Blas Islands.
Hawaii to Kiribati and back, gaining experience in long passages and remote island sailing.
Multiple Panama Canal crossings, handling complex maritime logistics.
Coastal sailing in Croatia, Italy, and France, immersed in Mediterranean maritime culture.
?? Professional Chef at Sea – Trained as a chef in Paris, I’ve managed restaurants and specialize in Italian, French, Thai, and Chinese cuisine. I can handle provisioning, meal planning, and cooking in all conditions, ensuring a well-fed and satisfied crew.
⚓ Reliable & Skilled Crew – I can stand night watch, follow clear orders, assist with navigation, and perform general maintenance. My disciplined and structured mindset makes me dependable in any situation.
? Hands-On & Tech-Savvy – Experienced in DIY projects, boat maintenance, and troubleshooting marine electronics. A power user of Apple and AI, I can also assist with social media, website management, and digital marketing—ideal for captains running charter operations.
? Strong & Capable – With a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I have excellent situational awareness, problem-solving under pressure, and physical resilience—useful in demanding sailing conditions.
? Musician & Crew Morale – I play guitar and piano, bringing good vibes and entertainment to any voyage.
? Drug-Free & Responsible – I enjoy the occasional cigar on land but maintain a healthy, disciplined lifestyle at sea.
A Little About Me
I’ve led a life of adventure, family, and exploration. I was happily married for many years until my wife’s passing six years ago, and with my children now grown, I have the freedom to dedicate myself fully to sailing. I’ve managed a 24-person tourist sailing yacht between Panama and Colombia, gaining experience in hospitality, guest management, and running a floating business.
I thrive in diverse crews, enjoy deep conversations or quiet moments, and approach every journey with a positive, adaptable attitude. Whether you need a strong and experienced crew member, a skilled chef, or someone to help manage a charter boat, I bring a strong work ethic, problem-solving skills, and a great sense of camaraderie.
If you’re looking for a seasoned sailor, chef, and all-around reliable crew member, let’s set sail together!
Fair winds and following seas! ⚓????
