Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello, my name is Sven, I am 21 years old and based near Haarlem in the Netherlands. Over the past few years, I have built extensive experience in the sailing world, working as both a flotilla leader and skipper in the Mediterranean. I’ve had the privilege of leading flotillas, managing various yachts, and assisting guests in creating memorable voyages. Recently, I completed a delivery trip, sailing a vessel from Athens to Lanzarote and from Cabo Verde to St. Lucia, which gave me valuable insights into long-distance sailing and life at sea.

In November 2024, I earned my RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate with a commercial endorsement. My training also includes the RYA First Aid course and BSC certification. Ass well i obtained the STCW Basic Safety Training. I am enthusiastic, adaptable, and motivated, always eager to learn from new challenges.

I am a non-smoker, enjoy an occasional drink, and thrive in the open sea, where I truly feel at home. My ultimate goal is to continue building my expertise and one day circumnavigate the globe. If you’re seeking an experienced and committed sailor to join your journey or have any opportunities to share, I’d love to hear from you!
