Hello all,
I'm wrapping up my most recent gig in southern
California and will be available as
Skipper or Crew from early September onward - hoping for
USA East Coast,
Caribbean, or Latin America (most of my
navigation experience here)....but very open to other opportunities as well!
I'm a 23 year old lifelong sailor, with a BS in Neuroscience, and have been taking time before
med school to sail, travel, and
work around the world. To date, my
offshore log stands at 19,400 nm on a wide variety of vessels (25 to 65ft LOA) in all conditions (calm to storm), solo, crewed, as
skipper, and everything in between. I hold numerous certifications from US Sailing and American Sailing Association, including instructor and
offshore certs. I'm a trained EMT and lifeguard, have experience with
marine diesel,
plumbing,
electrical, carpentry,
fiberglass, and
rigging repair/maintenance. I'm competent with various
navigation techniques,
anchoring in all conditions, and boathandling across the board. In addition, I'm an avid watersports enthusiast -
diving, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, fishing/spearfishing, etc whenever possible. I run my own little
charter business on the side as well, and love teaching sailing to newbies. I've been working as a
small boat instructor for the last 3 months at a
kids camp on
Catalina Island, and miss long-distance offshore sailing.
Happy to provide tons of positive
references from dozens of previous gigs as
delivery skipper,
charter skipper, cruising crew, sailing instructor, etc etc etc.
Please contact me via
email at vincent.mattiola(at)gmail.com.
Cheers,
Vinny
