Yacht charter in Nieuwpoort · Viko — 35s (2019)

I have been passionate about sailing since the age of six. With over 30 years of experience at sea and more than a decade as a professional instructor, I specialize in helping boat owners and charter sailors build confidence, competence, and true enjoyment on the water. I hold a commercially endorsed RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore / Ocean certificate (STCW95) and have extensive experience as a skipper, sailing instructor, and yacht delivery captain on a wide range of vessels including Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Hanse, Dehler, Island Packet, and many more. Beyond instruction, I organize and lead exclusive sailing expeditions to extraordinary destinations such as Norway, Canada, Western Australia, the Azores, the Aeolian Islands, and the Canary Islands. My goal is not only to teach technical skills, but to share the freedom, adventure, and mindset that make sailing a way of life. With a university-level teaching qualification, I combine structured methodology with a relaxed and positive atmosphere onboard. Safety, preparation, clear communication, and strong leadership are at the heart of every voyage. Whether you are a new boat owner, a charter guest wanting to improve your skills, or looking for a unique sailing experience, I look forward to welcoming you on board. I breathe sailing as if my life depends on it.
