Christian Weglehner
RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sailing.
Your cosmopolitan skipper with heart, shame and charm. Safety and detail-loving, reliable and mindful.
Embrace adventure. Set sails.
This motto does not come by chance.
Already as a little boy I was allowed to gain first sailing experiences at the Attersee while laser sailing. Sailing yachts have always fascinated me and I was allowed to sail some parts of the world as a crew member.
My story. and a pinch of sea salt.
After a very tough exam, probably the toughest sailing license exam in the world, I now hold the license RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sailing including a variety of additional courses.
As a successful sales and project management professional with decades of experience, I worked in various industrial sectors, most recently in the specialised textile industry. Until the beginning of 2024, I worked as a consultant in the government business. In this role, I supervised ministries in Europe and managed international projects from product development to market launch. Actually, I was supposed to take over the company I worked for at the time and lead it into the future. But it turned out differently – fortunately.
With my training as a RYA Yachtmaster Offshore I have fulfilled a dream. As a skipper I accompany selected cruises and projects – with experience, responsibility and real passion for the sea. I also cooperate with yacht management companies and charter providers worldwide.
I am married, father of a daughter in the best teenage age and have my home base in Wels in the tranquil Upper Austria. I prefer to sail in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean.
