About

I am an experienced yacht captain with a strong background in luxury yachting. I have extensive experience managing crews and ensuring the smooth operation of various vessels. My commitment to safety and efficiency is paramount, and I take pride in my mechanical knowledge and technical skills. Dear Sir, As a Monaco Yacht Club Member, I have gained extensive experience as a private yacht Captain (MCA 3000 GRT) on vessels - up to 60 meters (200 feet) - as well as build Captain for shipyards ( 2 builds for Benetti , 1 for Princess , and 1 for Palumbo ) during more than 20 years now. I have always been employed by very demanding owners who gave me the great opportunities to be their representative during all the building process of their future yacht (dealing with the designer, architect, shipyard, etc...). Moreover due to a good professional technical background, i have always been able to understand, assess and handle any aspect of engineering on board. The ocean taught me the most important point to focus on board was security at each level (passengers, crew members, engineering...). My experience will certainly be a huge asset for my next employers. In that respect, thank you for your consideration. I remain at you disposal for any further information, Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Best regards P.S After sailing the oceans for years, I would like to enjoy my family more, and find a boat more in line with this new lifestyle. My passion is intact and I am ready for a new challenge to share my experience and knowledge with a new owner.
