Crew

Born in Lisbon and grown up in Peniche, a surftown in the west of Portugal, Tiago always gravitated towards water. He is an avid sailor, surfer and loves to swim. He started sailing when he was 8 years old, racing in optimists and later in 420 sailboats. Throughout his twenties he was also a surf instructor at Baleal Surfcamp, teaching kids & grown ups from all around Europe how to catch a wave!  

 

Tiago went on to study at Nautical University in Lisbon, where he got his degree in nautical sciences. He joined the Norwegian merchant navy as deck officer and worked on chemical tankers, seismic vessels and ROV vessels across the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic ocean. Around the summer of 2019 he decided to move back to Europe to get back into sailing. He found that he could combine a lot of his passions (instructing, sailing, navigating, exploring) in chartering and has been doing so ever since. Tiago has spent most of his life at sea and is an extremely confident & experienced sailor. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and is eager to show others the wonders of life at sea.

 

Tiago is easy going, professional and is just the kind of person that makes you feel safe and relaxed. He also makes a mean Old Fashioned! 😉
