NICOLAS ZINGGREBE | CAPTAIN | GERMAN

EXPERIENCE:
I started off my career on a 40mts yacht as first officer where I was able to form myself in all aspects of a vessel, from maintenance and upkeep to management and admin. During my time on board, we cruised the Balearic area extensively as well as south of France, Monaco and the Genoa golf (up to Porto Fino). After three seasons on board I decided it was time for me to take the leap and become Captain, and I was able to do so on a 56ft Azimut charter vessel, my first season long command. During the same season I spent two months in Italy (Amalfi coast) on board a 64ft Sirena that was part of the same fleet. After an intense season on board the Azimut and Sirena I was able to join a Princess 68ft, taking her from a bare bone vessel to fully charter ready one and went on to spend three seasons on board operating exclusively around the Balearic Islands as a private/chaters vessel. I’m now proudly the new captain on board SÁSTA, a 78ft lagoon power catamaran.
