About

Dear Sir, My name is Zbig, and I am a dedicated and experienced Yacht Captain/Engineer from Poland. Holding an RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore (200 GT, sail & power) with a commercial endorsement and Approved Engine Course (AEC) certification, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience in the yachting industry. With 30,000+ nautical miles under my belt, I have successfully captained both sailing and motor yachts (38–105 ft), including prestigious brands like Azimut, De Vries Lentsch, Sunseeker, Princess, and Sunreef 70. My experience spans the Baltic, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans, as well as extensive inland waters navigation, giving me a solid foundation in navigation, engineering, and yacht management. Why Me? ✔ Expert Navigation & Boat Handling – Confident, precise, and adaptable in all conditions, with vast experience in both offshore and inland waters. ✔ Engineering & Maintenance – Ensuring vessels stay in top shape, minimizing downtime. ✔ Strong Leadership & Communication – Creating a positive and professional onboard atmosphere. ✔ Exceptional Guest Experience – Personable, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile. ✔ Flexible & Proactive – Quick to adapt to last-minute assignments and demanding itineraries. I am a native Polish speaker, fluent in English, and have a conversational knowledge of Russian, as well as basic Spanish and French, allowing me to communicate effectively in international environments. I thrive on new challenges and would love the opportunity to contribute to the success of your yacht. Please find my CV and references attached. Looking forward to discussing how I can support your team! Best regards, Zbig
