The Captains

The experience and personal traits of those who command a Sailing charter make all the difference.

Our captains have more than 15 years of experience sailing in this region.

Calm and safety all the time. Cordiality and empathy with the crew to meet the expectations.

They speak fluent English, Spanish and French.

Comandante MaurícioMaurício Duarte. I began sailing in Spain, in the Mediterranean, and since 20 years is sailing in Paraty, Ilha Grande and Ilha Bela. I’m also member of an unprofessional regatta team.
