Michele Torriani

Young Italian Skipper recently commercially endorsed looking at new projects and adventures to increase my experience and knowledge. Yachtmaster Offshore, I can be in charge of a vessel up to 24mt with 12 crew or guests onboard. I’ve matured the knowledge to manage a boat, crew and clients with care and respect. My desire is to achieve the Cruising Instructor and Yachtmaster Ocean soon and always grow as a sailor.

YI started as a deckhand for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in M/Y Steve Irwin in Williamstown, Melbourne for structure and engine maintenance and introducing visitors on the ship. I’ve learned a lot of manual skills and how to work even in big teams. Fast Track for my Yachtmaster in Tenerife, Canary Islands and then mate for 3 deliveries, two of them across the Mediterranean Sea and one to Sweden to Holland through Baltic Sea and Keil Chanal.

Fast track with an RYA training centre in Tenerife, where I've learned how to keep safety as priority and how to do it.
