Some example of boats I raced, Swan 46MKII, GS40, First42S7, Comet50, X-yacht41, First 50, HobieCat16 and 18 long time ago and few others. For long time I had to match my work life with my passion for sailing with a lot of effort. So since the past 6 years now, I decided to make my passion to become a profession and started as professional skipper in many cherter cruises around the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, noth athlantic, cruising with clients coming from all over the world. I do also a lot of yacht transfers. I started my own charter cruise agency as well and working with it right now.
