Experienced Yacht Captain with a career focused on the safe, efficient operation of Private and charter motor yachts, supported by a strong engineering background and hands-on command style. In addition to Captaincy, I specialise in new build commissioning, sea trials, and delivery, having served as Captain and Engineer on Sanlorenzo and Mangusta new builds, bridging the gap between shipyard construction and real-world operation. I work closely with owners, shipyards, designers, surveyors, and management companies to reduce delivery risk, manage warranty issues, and ensure yachts enter service reliable, crew-ready, and performing as intended from day one.
