Growing up in a family of sailors, my early exposure to the sea, combined with five years of living on a sailing boat and attending Nautical School in Trieste - Italy, laid a strong foundation for my maritime career. I began as a Deck Cadet on container vessels and steadily advanced through the ranks, eventually transitioning to the yachting industry. I’ve held roles from Deckhand to Captain (as Captain up to 35mt M/Y and 57mt S/Y), acquiring extensive knowledge in all aspects of yacht management. Proficient in Planned Maintenance Systems like IDEA and Triton, I’ve worked with esteemed management companies such as Edmiston, Burgess, Fraser, Reardon, and Ocean Independence, utilizing online management software like ManageMyVessel, EOL and Ocean. My versatility extends to engineering roles, having served as both a Sole Engineer and Assistant Engineer, ensuring efficient engine room maintenance. Additionally, I am a certified Dive Master with a passion for sailing and skills in video editing using drones and cameras. My interests include water sports, swimming, biking (mountain and gravel), padel, cross pit-bike, and skiing. As a career- focused, organized, and diligent professional, I easily connect with both crew and guests. I’m a proud member of ITALIAN YACHT MASTERS ASSOCIATION.
