Hey there! Are you in search of a skilled and adventurous crew member to join you on your next voyage? Look no further! I have a lifelong passion for sailing and have sailed for as long as I can remember, first on family sailing boat and dinghys as a kid, then I worked as delivery and charter skipper in the Mediterranean as well as some regatta sailing. With a positive attitude and a hunger for new experiences, I'm eager to find opportunities to crew on boats and meet new people, explore new oceans, cultures and places. Whether you're in need of an experienced sailor/watch-keeper or a friendly face to share in the excitement, I'm ready to hop aboard and make unforgettable memories together! Hope to hear from you! /Jens | |
