Yacht Charter in Preveza, Greece - Lagoon 620 Essence

Please enquire for cancellation policy.

Hector has been a professional skipper for eight years, accruing more than 50,000Nm in that time. Originally heralding from the Lake district in the UK, he has called Corfu his home in more recent years. As a permanent resident of the islands, Hector is a well-respected member of the local sailing community and is a known face in many of the ports you’re likely to visit.

Hector first came to work in the Ionian in 2014. Aged just 20 at the time he assumed the role of a flotilla skipper. In this position, he took responsibility for a small fleet of guest-operated yachts carrying up to 40 guests during any given week. Effectively dictating most aspects of the guest experience along the way.
Having sailed the region for a good many years Hector's knowledge of the Ionian is extensive. His guests benefit from insight gained during years of charter in the region. Just tell Hector what type of experience you’re looking for and he can put together an itinerary specifically catering to your group's requirements. As time passed Hector went from strength to strength as a skipper. Proving himself an excellent organizer, he became a regional manager for a charter operator in the Ionian a few years later. It speaks to his maturity that despite being younger than many of those he managed, he was the one trusted with the position. Hector earned a reputation as a level-headed and highly reliable individual and became a real lynch pin in day to day operations.

In more recent years, (since the world was introduced to a certain pandemic,) Hector has worked as a freelancer in the Ionian. Despite the difficulties placed on the tourism sector in the past two years Hector has been kept busy by virtue of his good reputation.
