Crew Profiles:
CAPTAIN - Giuseppe Di Maria
Since his youth, owing to his love of sport, Giuseppe has cultivated his passion for the sea and with over 14 years of experience sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, he has logged over 40.000 nm. That passion still motivates him in everything he does, in both his job and hobbies. The sea has taught him many lessons; humility and respect ; the ability to manage fear and consequently spread calm to others when necessary. A life on the sea necessitates good problem solving skills, considering the trade-offs and requiring flexibility, which enable Giuseppe to find the most practical solution. He has also learnt that teamwork is the most effective way to achieve a goal.
Giuseppe has also been a valued member of racing teams since 2011, for Bowman Pitman for example.
He speaks English and Italian

She continues to study ; every year she takes a new Master in different fields and is currently hoping to graduate in Media Communication and Culture. Since becoming a student, she has been working as a part time Wine Assistant in a winery in Palermo and is Sommelier A1 certified. She is very passionate about food, wine and the sea so Sicily is indeed the best place to cultivate those and her other passions for sailing and the natural world.

She started her collaboration with the management company BR1 several years ago, on yachts from 60' to 100'.
