Do you need a reliable sailor who can take over night watches, is skilful and has experience? I am very useful on a boat: I can cook, repair a sail, fix a computer, I am a professional electrician, IT Expert and have many more experiences. I am a sailor and sailed different sailing yachts, sailed with many different captains and know that the chemistry is very important on a boat to have a great atmosphere on the entire journey. I have a good humour, I am easy going and create sailing teams on trips I organise myself. I am looking for opportunities on short trips in between or longer sailing tips towards starting in September or later.

Check the testimonials I was credited by previous crew:
Nadir C. Sailing with Uwe is a one of a kind experience. Not only is he a fantastic skipper where safety and navigation is never in question, but he’s also a great person to shadow, ask questions and learn from if you’re interested in sailing. The atmosphere on the boat is great, with like-minded people pitching in to sail, relax and explore together. If you want a relaxed beach holiday where you sunbathe 24/7 and have your every need tended to by others, this isn’t for you. If you want a rewarding adventure on the water where you get out what you put in, learn from others, and also learn about yourself—you could do no better.

Assaf K. I had seven magical days with Captain Uwe and four other great guys & girls sailing along the beautiful coast of Croatia. Discovering remote islands and villages, anchoring in beautiful bays with crystal clear water, great food and drinks and guitar songs at nights. It was the best vacation for body & soul. Highly recommended!

Kim H. A few essential characteristics go into making a good skipper: calmness, experience and a willingness to share knowledge. As a captain, Uwe has all of these, which made sailing with him a smooth, enjoyable and super fun learning experience. There are plenty of opportunities to learn the ropes (literally) or kick back and relax, and Uwe was never bothered by our never-ending questions about the boat and how things work. Sailing can be unpredictable, but Uwe’s enthusiasm and positivity means that whatever the situation you have complete confidence that everything is going to turn out for the best. His delight in being out on the water is contagious and inspiring, creating a great positive atmosphere on the boat. Don’t be surprised if you leave planning your next sailing trip with him or making plans to get your own licence!
