Hi, My name is Pietro and I hold a mechanical engineering degree, I am RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualified, and I am fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. Over the course of the years, I have logged more than 20000 miles of blue water sailing crossing the Atlantic and the Pacific and cruising around the Caribbean and Mediterranean. On my CVs you will find that I am a well-rounded individual with strong problem-solving skills, work ethics, and a keen emotional intelligence. I also have a hospitality and cooking background that might come in handy on a yacht. After spending the summer season in Greece skippering for both private owners and charter companies I completed a 5000 miles delivery with owners on board of a new Lagoon 42 from France to St. Martin via ARC+. Once in the Caribbean I found work as a charter skipper, but I would like to find a privately owned yacth to work on. I will send CVs, references and qualifications upon request.
