Skipper on sailing yachts/motor yachts for deliveries, cruising, or as delivery crew

I am an experienced Captain holding a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore Sail license (200 ton). I have finished this past summer season in Southern Greece, doing charters as a Skipper, on a variety of sailing yachts and catamarans (50-65ft) while taking clients to Saronic Gulf and Cyclades islands. Earlier this month I completed a charter onboard a lagoon 54' as Captain in Thailand, taking my clients around the coasts of Krabi and Phuket, as well as visiting all the islands, towns and restaurants in between. During these charters, I acted as tour guide, host, captain, and problem solver to any issues that came about during our voyages.

I have also worked as charter skipper in Croatia, on catamarans and sailing yachts, exploring the islands between Split and Dubrovnik where we would take our guests out to see the local towns and beaches.

I have experience in deliveries including a Trans-Atlantic crossing from Miami to Bermuda and then to Portugal this last spring, a delivery of a motor yacht from Canada to USA back in December and just this week have finished a delivery of a 44ft sailing yacht from Florida to Mexico.

Beyond this I have experience as a bosun/mate on the M/Y Nova Spirit based in Vancouver, Canada between 2024-2025.

With my robust experience and qualifications, I would make an excellent addition to your team.

I have full availability going forward and I am currently located in the Caribbean.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Zach Thornley
