Serhii’s core principle is simple: crew safety is always number one. As a former military Colonel who defended Ukraine during 2014–2017 and 2022–2023, his internal focus and composure are palpable on board. You feel calm with him even in the most challenging conditions.

Yet, despite his serious background, he is a true "people person" who sets the mood for the entire trip. He knows countless jokes, knows exactly how to lighten the atmosphere, and fosters a team spirit that turns a group of individuals into a real crew. Training with him isn't dry theory; it’s living experience, practical stories, and a great sense of humor.

Serhii has also been a glider pilot since 2000, with over 500 hours in the air. This love for the sky blends perfectly with his passion for the sea — freedom, the horizon, and precision of movement are more than just words to him.

Sailing with him means:

• learning to handle a yacht with confidence and skill;
• gaining real maritime experience, not just a casual cruise;
• feeling the support of a strong mentor;
• living through a journey you’ll want to repeat.
