Hello everyone, I'm Riccardo, I'm 33 years old, and I'm an experienced and passionate skipper.
I hold a maritime license (v/m, over 12 miles), First Aid BLSD, VHF SRC certification, and Basic Fire Safety training. My adventure at sea began as a child, with various dinghy and cabin cruiser courses, and has evolved over time with the acquisition of my nautical license and further training in skippering, including mooring, offshore navigation, and engine and systems malfunction management.

I've been working on the water for 5 years and haven't looked back.
I started as a co-skipper on a beautiful ketch, and for the past two years, I've been a flotilla and private skipper during the summer season. I’ve sailed extensively in the Mediterranean, becoming familiar with some of its most stunning destinations: Croatia (from Split to Hvar), the Elba and Capraia Islands, as well as the Pontine and Aeolian Islands.
However, my experience recently expanded with a new adventure: over the past year, I’ve been navigating in Thailand, a truly unique experience that allowed me to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Islands, including Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, and Koh Lanta. It was a great opportunity to tackle new challenges and adapt to different sailing conditions in a completely new environment.

I started with plenty of hard work and hands-on experience, and over time, I turned this passion into my full-time job.
Safety and professionalism are my top priorities, but I also aim to bring a bit of fun and lightness onboard, ensuring that every voyage is not only safe but also an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
In addition to my love for the sea and travel, I enjoy planning adventurous itineraries, delving into the culture and cuisine of the places I visit, and dedicating time to photography, capturing the beauty of the landscapes around me.

Feel free to reach out!
You can find my phone number and email in my details, and I’m always available for new adventures, including transfers or customized trips.
Buon Vento!

Ciao a tutti, sono Riccardo, ho 33 anni e sono uno skipper con esperienza e passione per il mare.
Sono in possesso di patente nautica v/m oltre le 12 miglia, First Aid BLSD, abilitazione VHF SRC, e formazione Antincendio Base. La mia avventura in mare è iniziata fin da bambino con vari corsi di deriva e cabinato, e si è evoluta nel tempo con il conseguimento della patente nautica e corsi specifici per la professione di skipper, tra cui ormeggi, navigazione d'altura e gestione delle avarie motore e impianti.

Da 5 anni lavoro in mare e non mi sono più fermato.
Ho iniziato come co-skipper su un magnifico ketch e, da due anni, sono skipper di flottiglia e privato per la stagione estiva. Ho navigato molto in Mediterraneo, acquisendo una buona conoscenza di alcune delle più belle destinazioni: dalla Croazia (da Spalato a Lagosta), all'Elba e Capraia, passando per le Isole Pontine e Eolie.
Ma da poco la mia esperienza si è arricchita con una nuova avventura: l'ultimo anno l'ho trascorso navigando in Thailandia, un'esperienza unica che mi ha permesso di esplorare le acque cristalline delle isole Andamane, come Phuket, Koh Phi Phi e Koh Lanta, affrontando nuove sfide e adattandomi a diverse condizioni di navigazione in un contesto completamente diverso.

Ho iniziato con tanto impegno e gavetta, e con il tempo ho trasformato questa passione in un lavoro a tempo pieno.
Per me la sicurezza e la professionalità sono fondamentali, ma cerco anche di portare un po' di simpatia e leggerezza a bordo, per fare in modo che ogni navigazione sia non solo sicura, ma anche un'esperienza divertente e indimenticabile.
Oltre alla passione per il mare e i viaggi, mi piace pianificare itinerari avventurosi, approfondire la cultura e la cucina dei luoghi che visito, e dedicarmi alla fotografia, cercando di catturare la bellezza dei paesaggi che mi circondano.

Non esitate a contattarmi!
Trovate il mio numero di telefono e la mia email nei dettagli, sono sempre disponibile per nuove avventure, anche per trasferimenti o viaggi personalizzati.

Buon vento!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

share experiencegain experience

I am looking for a paid boarding as a transfer or weeks as a private skipper in the Mediterranean. Towards the end of November I would like to find a boarding to accumulate miles in the ocean as my next goal is to get the RYA Yachtmaster offshore. If you need a reliable and professional figure to get to the Caribbean you have found it!!! I would be very happy to be part of your crew!

In questo momento sto cercando un imbarco pagato come un trasferimento o delle settimane come skipper privato in mediterraneo. Verso la fine di novembre vorrei trovare un imbarco per accumulare miglia in oceano visto che il mio prossimo obiettivo è ottenere il RYA Yachtmaster offshore. Se avete bisogno di una figura affidabile e professionale per raggiungere i caraibi lo avete trovato!! Sarei molto felice di poter far parte della vostra crew!
