Hobbies & Interests

When I'm not working on deck or in the engine room, I love staying active through freediving, swimming, and other water sports that keep me connected to the ocean. I'm dedicated to my gym training, maintaining the strength and stamina needed for life on a motor yacht. I also enjoy IT and tech, whether fixing onboard systems or exploring new innovations. Travel is another passion, and I'm always eager to explore new destinations, especially those with vibrant marinas and coastal culture.
