About
I am a Lisbon-based offshore captain and sailing instructor working with private owners, charter guests and racing teams. My approach is calm, practical and centred on safe decision-making at sea.
I can join an existing yacht for a coastal or offshore passage, take responsibility for a delivery, prepare an owner for independent cruising, or help a crew build confidence before a regatta. Every engagement starts with a clear review of the boat, route, weather window and expectations on board.
