About

With over 20 years in yachting, I offer extensive experience commanding vessels up to 47m, including steel and GRP yachts (ISA, C&N, Bugari Superba, Turquoise, Sanlorenzo, Benetti and Akhir). Experienced in all aspects of yacht management, I use MMV, Voly, Wrike and Seahub for operational, technical and administrative tasks, alongside crew leadership, regulatory compliance and guest service. Having mainly worked across the South of France and Italy, I have strong regional knowledge and established relationships with local authorities, shipyards, suppliers and service providers. My experience in busy summer operations and refit projects enables me to anticipate challenges and ensure smooth operations for owners, guests and crew. I take pride in a hands-on, traditional approach, understanding vessels from keel to mast and sharing my knowledge to foster teamwork and efficiency. I look forward to discussing how my experience can contribute to your team. Thank you!
