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.

Highlights from my logbook:
  • Training and examination to RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sailing
  • Transfer of an Arcona 380 from Malta to Toulon
  • Transfer of a Bali 4.6 from La Rochelle to Athens
  • Hop-on Hop-off shared cabin charter on a Dufour 43 in Greece
  • Charter skippers on catamaran and monohulls in Croatia
  • Training as RYA Day Cruising Instructor 
  • Transfer of an Amel Super Maramu 53″ from Greece to Cape Verde
