About the Skipper
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is
Manuel Tremmel
and I am the Skipper of
s/y Mozzo.
I am a
a German from Bavaria, live aboard my yacht & study computer science on
Malta
(which is situated in the centre of the Mediterranean).
I am a very
"passionate sailor",
meaning that I am absolutely in love with sailing!
I have
12 years of sailing experience
on sailboats of various sizes, (mostly in the position of the Skipper), in the Netherlands, Bavaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Italy (also Lago di Garda), Malta, Spain, France and Portugal. In the last 1 1/2 years alone, I sailed over a distance of more than
14,000 Nm
on s/y Settima. I am certified to operate pleasure craft of any size with any number of people aboard at sea. I speak English & German fluently.

- October 2008 through June 2009: 3500 Nm (while studying)
- Summer 2009: Malta - Saredegna - Formentera - Gibraltar - Portugal & back via Barcelona, Corse & Capri to Malta (5800Nm, with very few stops, mostly sailing against the wind)

Sailing - my passion
- Safety is a priority, which means that life jackets and a constant lifeline connection with the boat is a matter of fact. Some minor safety measure can be a life or death decision, some this cannot be neglected. Only sailors who are always careful, will enjoy the pleasure of sailing for long.
- It is basically always possible to steer clear of ports & marinas, to avoid having to pay expensive mooring fees.
- Even though I offer many kinds of sailing trip according to my guests wish, I personally prefer to sail without autopilot, without engine, solely using the power of the wind.
- I find a atmosphere of mutual respect, tolerance and understanding very important for a sailing trip with confined space.
