Level V Captain Rank Chief Sailing Instructor / Assessor

RYA Instructor Candidate and sailing professional with over 6 years of hands-on experience in yacht charter operations and skippering in the Mediterranean, primarily in Greece. Managing a fleet of 16 yachts, I have extensive experience delivering client briefings and handling real-world situations under pressure, both ashore and at sea. My experience is built in demanding conditions, with a strong focus on practical seamanship, safety, and decisive boat handling across monohulls, catamarans, and motor yachts. As an instructor, I deliver clear, no-nonsense training that builds confidence fast. I focus on developing sailors who are not only skilled, but capable of thinking, deciding, and acting independently in real conditions.
