I have the time and experience if you have the boat!

Sailing yacht skipper with commercial qualifications now retired available.


Hi, I sold my last boat a Fountain Pajot 46 cat last year in mexico and I am missing the ocean! I hope to offer you my experience to help you with your ocean crossing, rally, regatta, assisted passage, vacation , delivery or extended cruising.

I am a fit fifty something looking for sailing opportunities to get out on the water. Not looking to get paid (and pay tax!) but don't expect to contribute financially offering instead my time, experience and qualifications.

I ran a crewed and catered yacht charter business from 2003 until 2014 when my wife and I departed from the Middle East bound for South America for a 2 year liveaboard extended cruise. I have skippered and owned yachts from 26 to 52 feet, Monos and Cats and covered about 50000 miles including Ocean crossings. I have extensive knowledge of the Med and Caribbean as well as rallies including the ARC.

I hold a Master of yachts 200gt and RYA yachtmaster ticket with current commercial endorsement and stcw 95. I am a great cook and also a musician. I am a non smoker and have no special dietary requirements

I am currently in Europe in southern France; Palma, Antibes, Brittany driving distance and the rest of the Med and UK only a few hours away but willing to fly anywhere including the Americas or Far east! We come as a couple if additional crew are required.

Lets email and or Skype to discuss the possibilities.

Re: I have the time and experience if you have the boat!

Hey there,

I'm just heading to Puerto Rico to run a small charter gig to SVI's and USVIs. I have a lagoon 420, maybe a fit. I'm also just heading from Fort Lauderdale to PR via Bahamas leaving mid April.

Are you still available/interested in sailing some?

Cheers,

Rob

Thanks,

Hi dave

Are you only looking for someone to help you get from point A to B or someone to stay on the boat long term, over months at a time?
