I'm Fabio, Italian, I live in Panama and I'm currently in Italy. He is married and father of two children. I am looking for a position as Captain/skipper up to 200 GT or First Officer on larger yachts. I have been working at sea for 20 years but I have always lived with the culture and passion for the sea and boats is practically my life. My father, a former sailor in the Italian Navy, passed this passion on to me. The most important thing I have learned over the years is that you never stop learning at sea and I would always like to improve even if my perspectives have changed, I have gone from solo adventures and dreams, to more professional ambitions.
I am the CEO of Myblue4you.com, a digital charter platform best known in Central America and well positioned in the world. I also own a 45' sailboat that has allowed me to cross the Atlantic Ocean several times.
