charter broker "Saila charter"

"I have sailed with Andrei several times now, both in Crimea and in Turkey. Each time I am convinced: he is a captain you can feel calm with. He is systematic, attentive, and does everything as it should be done, without unnecessary words and without mistakes. For me, as a person who values professionalism and reliability, this is the most important thing. The vacation turns out to be a real vacation, not a stress. I recommend Andrei to everyone who wants to go to sea with a confident and experienced captain on board"

charter, practice

We met Andrey in May 2024—he was the captain on our holiday charter along the Yalta–Istanbul–Sea of Marmara–Yalta route. The weather for the Black Sea crossing was quite a challenge, as we caught the start of a storm. However, with Andrey, everything felt super calm and safe. We even took our 8-year-old daughter on that crossing.
This September 2026, I decided to take on my first independent charter (as captain) in the Mediterranean. Since almost 5 years had passed since my training, I was a bit nervous. So, I asked Andrey to join us as a mentor and assistant. He helped right from the start with valuable advice on boat check-in and route planning. He was also incredibly helpful during the charter itself. Having Andrey there made me feel much more confident. He suggested great bays for daytime stops and overnight anchorages. Everyone especially loved the mooring near BOYNUZBUKU RESTAURANT—we definitely took note of this new spot.
During the charter, a hinge mount on the swim platform broke, but Andrey immediately noticed that this part had been repaired previously. He helped minimize further damage by securing the broken area and was a massive help during the subsequent negotiations with the charter company, ensuring nothing was deducted from our deposit. I confidently recommend Andrey as an experienced and reliable captain.
