I’m a licensed 100-ton Master Merchant Marine with over 20 years of experience as a captain. Since 1975, I’ve been piloting boats and have had the privilege of cruising and delivering vessels around the globe. As a charter captain and owner of Paradiso Yacht Charters, I operate a diverse fleet of vessels in Newport Beach, California, ranging from a sailboats to a luxurious yachts. I’m also passionate about teaching sailing and vessel handling, certified by insurance companies to train and test new boat owners for insurance qualifications. I love sharing our ocean with others, especially when they get to witness the awe-inspiring sights of dolphins, sea lions, and majestic whales along our beautiful California coastline.
