Experienced Skipper ready at your service
Starting with an optimist over 30 years ago, and then sailing on various boats and yachts in the Baltic Sea and Stockholm Archipelago, I have accumulated extensive sailing experience. I have also run my own business in the field of yacht maintenance for over 10 years.
I offer professional skipper services for both charter and private sailing events. I run my own business, so you can either hire me as a freelancer or employ me directly on your yacht anywhere in the world. I also arrange sailing trips with my sailboat Midnight Express in the Stockholm Archipelago. See more at https://seglamedkapten.se/ and midnightexpress41
