FERNANDO DE VILALLONGA

I am seeking employment onboard sailing vessels. I am highly motivated, fast learning and enjoy being challenged. I enjoy working as part of a team, and am easy going.  I have a passion for sailing and love being out on the water. My fitness levels and strength are both excellent. I aim to do every task to the best of my ability and improve wherever possible. I believe I would be a great asset to a professional yacht crew.

I have been surrounded by water all my life and I cannot imagine my life without the sea by my side. Since I am a child I have been sailing around Balearic Island, fishing, diving, kite surfing, water skiing, etc; I can say the ocean is my passion.

Before becoming a man of the sea. I worked as a professional chef for eleven years. I dream one day I will have my own boat to sail around the world.
