Need to get your yacht to winter storage, a new home port, or ready for the next big trip?

Then I will be at your side with my transfer service. As a skipper (with my crew if necessary) or as a helping hand for particularly challenging maneuvers. Your yacht transfer, your decision.

I’m here to help- as your professional skipper (with crew if needed), or simply as a skilled extra hand for demanding maneuvers.

Your yacht transfers your call.

With 25+ years of experience, including transatlantic crossings in over 17 sailing regions, I’ll ensure your yacht is transferred smoothly, safely, and reliably.

Before the start of the transfer, I check the standing and running rigging. During the transfer, I keep detailed logs, and once the transfer is complete, I carry out a final inventory.

Of course, I'll always keep you up to date. If you are not on board, I will take a GPS tracker with me so you can follow your yacht’s journey in real time.

Let’s organize your professional yacht
transfer together!

Do you want to optimize your skills as a skipper, master difficult maneuvers or gain more confidence in navigation?

Then my skipper training is just right for you. Whether harbor maneuvers, mooring and casting off in difficult conditions or precise navigation - I support you as an experienced coach.

Let's discuss your training goals together.

ABOUT ME

Successful Sailing - Sunset clouds over the boats

YOUR SKIPPER FOR ALL 7 SEAS

Thomas - Non-Smoker - Patient Teacher

With over 25 years of experience at sea – from the Adriatic to the Atlantic – I not only know the beauty of sailing, but also the challenges that may arise along the way. And I know how to handle them.

I have over 30 trips on monohulls and catamarans of all sizes, guided crews and carrying out transfers safely and reliable. For me, one thing is always clear: experience, safety, and calmness are the top priorities at sea.

What always accompanies me is my passion for sailing – and the joy of
sharing that feeling with others.

Every time I set sail with a new crew, I enjoy watching that same enthusiasm spark in others.

Let’s talk about your next trip, your skipper training, or the transfer of your yacht- and make it an unforgettable
experience.

Do I need to know how to sail to book a sailing trip?

No, you can come on board without any sailing knowledge and simply enjoy your sailing holiday. If you want, I will teach you something about sailing. But that's 100% your decision. I can sail the boat on my own at any time.

Can I also sail myself if I want?

Of course! You can take the helm at any time, practice maneuvers and gain experience - just as you wish.

What if I get seasick?

First – most people don't get seasick at all. If you do: don't worry. Seasickness is quite common and usually only temporary. I know tried and tested tips and tricks to help – from the right position on deck to small but effective measures. I’ll also adjust the route and pace if necessary to make you comfortable. Together we’ll find the best way for you to enjoy your sailing trip in a relaxed way!

Where does the skipper stay?

The skipper sleeps in his own cabin on board. Even though we are all on board together, I’ll always respect your space and give you the freedom I would want myself.

Where do we sleep?

You have your own cabin on board and sleep there.

Is there an on-board cash register?

Yes, an onboard kitty is common for yacht charter and skipper training. It covers shared costs such as diesel, harbor fees, or provisions.

Who takes care of the skipper's catering?

The skipper is included in the onboard kitty and joins the meal only if desired.


Can we drink alcohol on board?

Yes – after all, it’s your holiday. But safety comes first: anyone operating the yacht must be sober. The skipper always remains alcohol-free.

Is smoking allowed on board?

Yes, smoking is allowed- always with mutual consideration. However, smoking below deck is not permitted.

What happens in case of bad weather?

Safety is the highest priority. If the weather is too stormy, we stay in the sheltered harbor and spend a day there.

Do we anchor in a bay or sleep in the harbor?

That depends on your preferences. We can moor in the harbor or anchor in a bay. In stormy weather, we stay in port.

Can I cancel a trip or training?

A change of date is possible. You’ll find full cancellation conditions in our terms and conditions.

What exactly happens during skipper training?

Your skipper training will be individually tailored to you. We discuss your goals in advance and then put them into practice together. You train under real-life conditions – many participants focus on preparing for their first charter holiday, safety on board, or harbor maneuvers.

For whom is skipper training suitable?

For anyone who already knows how to sail but wants to deepen their knowledge or gain more confidence - ideal before your first charter holiday.

How does a yacht transfer work?

I transfer your yacht safely and reliably from A to B - alone or with my crew. You’ll receive regular updates.

As an owner, do I have to be present at a yacht transfer?

No, that's not necessary. You can fully rely on my experience. If you’d like, you are very welcome to come along for the trip.
