With more than 25 years of experience on the ocean, I have dedicated my career to navigating the seas and sharing their beauty with others. My journey began at a young age, and over the decades I have had the privilege of working on a wide variety of vessels, from fishing boats and sailboats to luxury catamarans. Each adventure has taught me the importance of safety, seamanship, and respect for the ocean.

As Captain of the Blue Dolphin, my greatest joy is welcoming guests on board and creating unforgettable memories on the water. Whether it’s spotting dolphins, enjoying a peaceful sunset, or feeling the thrill of the open sea, I strive to make every trip a special and unique experience. My passion for sailing and my deep knowledge of these waters allow me to ensure that every guest not only feels safe, but also connected to the magic of the ocean.
