My favourite place to visit are the mountains and the amazing little bays that the Baleares have to offer.

Funny stories:

too many to say in one line, just hop on board relax and they will come flowing out by the end of your charter.

Other:

Started sailing on an old square schooner from Amsterdam to Lisbon. Later on, crossed the Atlantic towards the Caribbean. There I worked for a Danish project vessel LIVIT a steel ketch, the project rehabilitates 3 young kids teaching them the ropes and tricks of sailing. Moved to Mallorca in 2007 where I started sailing for company's doing week charters around the islands. The road to become a good Capitan is long and slow but worth every mile off it. Had the opportunity to sail a boat back from Panama to Mallorca, that was a long rough trip. Later, I started working for G adventures, a Canadian travel company , there I have been in charge of a 50 foot sailing vessel and sailed every week for 7 months new clients around the Cyclades islands in Greece. Did some deliveries here and there on the globe.  And then family came around the corner, as well a new family MEZZO MAGIC and Magic happened 8 happy years working alongside creating happy customers and building the company to higher atmospheres.

I’m a man living the day Pura Vida the sea changed my life and it became a part of all my family as we purchased a unit sailing boat where we live on ,located in the most beautiful bay of Mallorca. I cant complain as we float on the most beautiful swimming pool.

Years worked for PC:
