As far as my background, I have been sailing since the age of 13 out of my home port of Arcachon in the bay of Biscay and began my professionnal career in the French Riviera in 1973; got my first skipper position in 1975 on a gorgeous S&S wooden yawl and have cruised on many different boats (only one powerboat!) in the Us, both coasts, down to Hawaii , Tahiti, Costa Rica and Panama and on my own sailing 30 foot sloop in the Med, West Africa, Brazil and a lot of the Caribbean which i know like the back of my hand! Many years with the bare boat companies! This is going to be my 13th atlantic crossing and still looking forward to it! |

Enrico Tettamanti naviga su barche a vela d'altura sin da piccolo, grazie alla passione della sua famiglia. A 18 anni consegue la patente nautica senza limiti, a 19 è istruttore di vela presso la scuola nautica STEFRAL, con sede ad Aprilia Marittima, e sostiene corsi d’iniziazione, patenti nautiche e corsi avanzati d'altura. La sua passione sfrenata per la vela senza confini lo porta, a soli vent’anni, ad affrontare il primo trasferimento in Atlantico, da Malaga alle isole Canarie, via Gibilterra. Trasportato dall'entusiasmo Atlantico rientra in Italia e con la propria imbarcazione, un fast cruiser di 40,5 piedi, inizia a partecipare alle regate d'altura dell'alto Adriatico, sempre con allievi della scuola nautica come equipaggio, e ad organizzare crociere. |

Henk is Dutch born 1962. He speaks English, Dutch, Friesian, German, Portuguese and Spanish. After graduating he worked for 6 years as a freelance advertisement photographer in Amsterdam. He started sailing at the age of 12 and can look back on 21 years of sailing experience. Here in the south he sails since 1995.
While on a sailing trip of two years, he decided to give his nautical life a more permanent footing. The attraction of the extreme isolation and the beauty of unspoiled nature made it easy to take that decision. |

Skipper professionista, proprietario del Tari II, trentennale esperienza velica e numerose traversate oceaniche, esperto del Mediterraneo, del mar Rosso e Caraibico, conoscitore dell’Atlantico, nell’anno 2000 raggiunge con la sua imbarcazione la Terra del Fuoco ed approda ad Ushuaia in Argentina, deliziosa cittadina australe che si affaccia sul Canale Beagle. Rimane incantato dal magico fascino dei luoghi e decide di fermarsi. Attualmente accoglie sul Tari II coloro che vogliono conoscere i posti dove i grandi navigatori, come Cook, Drake, Magellano e tanti altri famosi, gettarono le loro ancore dopo aver doppiato il mitico Capo Horn. D'estate naviga in Grecia. |

. name: Wolfgang
. nationality:Austrian
. born:
. destinations: Andamans, Thailand
. miles: 60,000
. languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, German
. vessel: S/V Mozart |
|
Austrian yachtsman Wolfgang himself was named after the great composer, he called his first yacht Amadeus so his second, his new ultimate dream catamaran, could really only have one name: Mozart.
Having sailed, dived and very successfully chartered in Thailand and Burma for some eight years he knows the area like the back of his hand and he will be able to show you, besides the well known famous places, some "secret" spots, unspoiled, usually inaccessible for "normal" mono hulled yachts and stunningly beautiful.
Mozart's' speed means you can cover a lot of ground within a short time. This way cruising grounds further away come within your reach, even during shorter charters. |

Born and raised in a Navy environment, he accompanied his father in the Naval Academy and learned to sail with a guy named Agostino Straulino (Star Class Olympic Gold Medal). Then sailed in many seas, warm and cold, as a bosun on the Italian Navy sailboat, Stella Polaris. Not easily chained by strict discipline, he soon cast off for himself, seeding a wide network of relationships in most Mediterranean countries. He knows nearly every harbour, wine, tavern and bay between Trieste and Trieste via Istambul and Gibraltar |

Arnaldo embodies the perfect skipper like few others, last but not least his beard. Born in Rome, he now lives and sails in the Caribbean, where he also charter for the best reasons of all: to share his passion. He speaks English, Italian and French
His wife Alessandra is a top-notch cook. We do not use the words 'Cordon Bleu' in Italy to define a good cook. We prefer 'grandmother's style and attention to the ingredients'. Much better than the french description, isn't it? Italian and Creole cuisine |
