OUR TEAM

By sailing, making mistakes and trying again, we found our method.

Davide Zerbinati

Designer, nautical expert, shipowner, sailor, writer, but above all a great connoisseur of the nautical industry and boats. With more than 5000 expert reports, 180 refit projects, two Atlantic crossings and 70000 miles to his credit, he is able to advise, train and advise all kinds of boat owners.

 

?With passion and dedication, I dedicate myself to my work and try to pass on my experience and expertise both in the classrooms of the Polytechnic, in the courses we organise at the Yacht Pro Hub and in the other training experiences we offer.?

 

Andrea Giorgetti

Skipper with more than 180000 miles of sailing in all the world's oceans on boats from 27 to 100? Thanks to his experience as an owner, skipper and technician, he has acquired a vast nautical culture, an in-depth knowledge of boats and a fair amount of experience as a project manager. For years, he has collaborated with the nautical magazine Bolina, writing technical articles.

 

He loves to pass on his skills in order to make navigation more pleasant and safer for captain and crew. With humility and enthusiasm, I aim to teach boat owners how to make the best use of their boat, to guide them in managing and planning work. I offer my experience in preparing boats for long cruises and crossings.

 

Riccardo Salimbeni

Skipper by profession for 20 years. He has sailed as skipper of both charter and owner-operated boats throughout the Mediterranean and the Caribbean Sea, totalling 50000 miles. In the Yacht Pro Hub he is in charge of deliveries, project management and coaching.

 

I am a particularly calm and empathetic person, characteristics that combined with my passion for the sea manage to instil an emotional involvement in this wonderful world. I pass on my knowledge and experience with enthusiasm.

 

I live sailing simply, trying to remain rooted in the fundamental principles of sailing: safety, practicality and technical knowledge.?

Alessio Cannoni

For 25 years he has been working as a sailing boat captain. He has captained, rigged, and maintained a wide variety of boats, from 42 to over 100 feet, from classic boats to multihulls to modern ocean-going foilers; this varied experience allows him to deal with all types of boats and their operation and maintenance. He has sailed some 150,000 miles in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean, from the Equator to beyond the Polar Circle, cruising and racing.

 

For me, sailing has mainly meant learning to live and move in harmony with nature; modern man is used to trying to adapt the reality around him to his own needs. At sea, it has to be different: you have to learn to listen, understand your surroundings and respect its rules. This is what I try to convey to those who approach this discipline?

Francesco Da Rios (Ghego)

Born in Milan, he has lived and worked in Sardinia for more than twenty years. He started sailing at the age of six with his parents and has never stopped sailing since. From his first experiences as a sailing instructor to his round-the-world voyage, he has sailed more than 120,000 miles. He has worked as a rigger on boats between 65 and 100 feet, has raced in major Mediterranean competitions aboard a Pogo 40, and currently runs his own nautical services and charter company, where he brings all his experience, which he also makes available in his collaboration with YPH.

 

You don't do this job for so long if you are not driven by a strong love for the sea, but passion and love are not enough: to make a good sailor you need a lot of dedication and a lot of miles. On a boat, as in life, you never stop learning.?

 

Riccardo Tosetto

At sea for as long as he can remember, he is in love with sailing and deep-sea sailing. After a long training experience with Angelo Preden, he started sailing as skipper of his own charter boat in 2006. For several years, he took part in major competitions in the North Adriatic with his own racing boat, achieving excellent results. He has extensive expertise and experience in all technical and management aspects; aspects that he loves to share with his students. He has sailed in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and the Atlantic, and has four Atlantic crossings to his credit.

 

In May 2022 it purchased Obportus, a Class 40 with which it will take part in the Global Solo Challengea solo regatta that will take him around the globe.

Isabella Guarducci

Adopted sailor is the definition she likes to use to describe her approach to the nautical world, which began thanks to Andrea Giorgetti, who immediately welcomed her and involved her in his nautical projects. After graduating in Architecture, she dedicated herself completely to the sea and sailing, sailing in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean, covering more than 45,000 miles.

 

Having lived first-hand, and for a long time, on board a sailing boat, allows me to understand the dynamics and passions of those who approach or experience this dimension, a dimension that brings with it the dream and the spirit of discovery, but which also requires preparation and knowledge.?

 

He has made the space between the waves his own, demonstrating a natural aptitude and ability. With commitment and dedication, he devotes himself to the Yacht Pro Hub with the desire to communicate his experience and his story.
