Watch: Sailing Fethiye, Turkiye

Hard working, Versatile, Adaptable, Easy Going, Sea Lover — STCW-certified, 70+ dives, Bilingual English/Spanish

Looking for deckhand/companion sailing. Currently in Italy. This summer have been sailing the Turquoise coast of Turkiye and the Aeloians in Italy. Previously crewing day tours and private charters on a 47ft vessel out of Lisbon (3 months). Prior to this, lived aboard a 45ft catamaran in Philippines, 7-day charters, companion sailing, Regattas etc for 3 months as well. Available immediately.

I'm a STCW-certified Stew/Deck (Basic Safety, Medical First Aid, Fire Fighting, Sea Survival -February 2026. 2,500+ nm logged primarily in the Philippines and Indonesia, +500nm Turkiye. For the past three months I've been crewing day tours and private charters on a 47ft vessel out of Lisbon. Before that, three months as senior crew on a 45ft catamaran in the Philippines running 7-day charters — anchoring, docking, navigation support, provisioning, and full guest service onboard.

I have 70+ logged dives since 2022, kiteboarding certification, and broad watersports experience. Bilingual English/Spanish, and having lived and worked across Asia, Latin America, Spain, and the USA — I adapt quickly and genuinely enjoy meeting people from all walks of life.

My background in hospitality and operations means I'm comfortable wearing many hats and I don't wait to be told what needs doing. I bring good energy, work hard, and care about the boat and the people on it.

Not chasing a title — just the water. Stew/Deck, day charters, liveaboards, passages, deliveries — open to all of it. Currently in Sicily, Italy - but available and open to options worldwide. Short-term okay!
