Unità: île Flottante II, 19 mtr Motor Catamaran
Destinazione d'uso, zona: Private, Corsica Island and South of France
Ruolo ricoperto: Captain - Engineer
Mansioni e responsabilità: Seasonal contract on a yacht that had been completely abandoned during the winter and it was not in operational condition when I took command of her. After three weeks of hard work, the boat was in basic conditions to do a short season with owner on board. I finished my mission leaving the boat on land on a shipyard with a very long list of works to be done during the winter.
This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs I have ever had in the yachting industry, both on the professional and personal sides.
