Meet your host

I’m Captain Hugo.

I was a miserable oil and gas engineer in Houston, six figures and a desk, when I stumbled into yachting. Zero boating experience. I wasted money on the wrong courses and nearly went home broke, until a captain showed me what actually matters.

Twelve years later I’ve worked my way up to captain, and I’ve helped over 350 people make the same jump from a standing start: teachers, bartenders, career changers in their forties, commercial seafarers.

This class is the short version of what works.

  • 12 years in yachting, worked my way up to captain
  • Worked on yachts from 27m to 90m
  • Interviewed and reviewed hundreds of crew
  • Helped over 350 people move into yachting, most with zero boat experience

What my crew say

“Hugo gives the best advice for anything to do with Yachting. With his knowledge I was able to get my ideal job on a 60m and have already been there for 2 years. He has mentored me in every big decision I’ve taken in Yachting and he has never steered me wrong. I’ll continue to use him for professional advice.”

Jose GalvisBosun, Venezuela

“Hugo is incredibly talented and knowledgeable about the Yachting industry and has worked almost every position onboard. With his help I was able to quickly get multiple jobs offers and finally land my dream job! I still reach out to him whenever I need help!”

Reilly BayerStewardess, United States

“Hugo is the only reason I was able to get into Yachting. I had been trying for so long but I am from Costa Rica so this is very hard. Me and my family are grateful that I now get to do what I love while making great money and traveling. I hope more people benefit from his help just like I did.”
