How I can be of use

  • Are you looking to cruise to places few people ever see? I can take you there.

    Planned and cruised around Northern Norway, New England, Guadeloupe, Brazil, South Georgia, Antarctica and St. Helena.

    Circumnavigated Svalbard up to 81 30' North. Reached Neko Harbour (Antarctica) until 65 South. Won Boat International's WSA Voyager Award 2025 for that voyage.

    If I don’t have an answer for your questions, I know the right person to ask.

  • Able to act as an Owner’s Representative or as a Project Manager during your Refit.

    Project-managed solo a $2.2 million refit in Greece for 7 months, including a full paintwork using Pinpoint. Complete implementation of a PMS from scratch, ISM, and attaining commercial compliance. Oversaw the change of the Flag as well as a full-scale study on stability. Budgeted everything through VOLY. 

    Dealt with a generator breakdown halfway towards Antarctica and arranged every aspect of the repair in Southern Brazil, without affecting schedule.

    I have a track record for dealing with massive emergencies with zero casualties and minimal losses, along with a solid understanding of the insurance process.

    As an Owner’s Surveyor following an incident, I will fly within 24 hours, stabilise the loss, lead the preservation efforts, handle reporting to all parties and appoint a competent legal team to maximise recourse.

  • Are you looking for a second, honest opinion on your asset?

    Free of charge, I will carry out an remote audit on your vessel and if needed, I will perform a physical visit a well.

    If you especially looking to buy an older converted lady, my experience on both ITASCA & ASTERIA can save you a lot of hurdles and help you negotiate a better price.

My Story

I began my career in the commercial world as an officer on oil and Gas tankers.

I wanted to get involved as soon as possible with the actual management of the vessel, and that led me to yachting.

At 29, after a stroke of luck, I was offered my first international command. And the rest form a story that starts with a beautiful older lady called ASTERIA.
