THE CAPTAIN
Andreas aka Anderl grew up in Salzburg, Austria. Though hailing from a landlocked country he started sailing as a child. At the outset every year family sailing in the Med and dinghy racing on lakes lead to semi-professional deliveries. Besides assisting his father in building a 56′ during his teenager years Andreas gained extensive technical knowledge by training in a dual-apprenticeship as technical draftsman and plumber. After his studies of Geography and Communication science he started his professional career on classic yachts. More than 20 years in the game he is looking back on a circumnavigation, 21 Atlantic crossings, several yacht commissionings and thousand of miles cruising with owners and charter guests. Andreas takes pride in running yachts flawlessly and loves to indulge in local intricacies wherever he sails.
