About me

Originally from Venezuela, I've called Miami home for over a decade—where my Latin heritage meets the dynamic rhythm of the Magic City. The ocean has always been my element, and over the years, it’s become both my passion and profession.

As an IKO-certified kiteboarding instructor, I've had the privilege of sharing the thrill of the sport with riders of all levels—from first-timers finding balance to seasoned athletes chasing their next big challenge. Every session is a chance to create unforgettable moments on the water.

With a USCG captain’s license, I bring skill, safety, and professionalism to every journey at sea. Whether plotting routes or leading on-the-water adventures, I take pride in delivering experiences that are both smooth and memorable.

My journey naturally led me into the luxury yacht industry, where I’ve helped clients realize their dreams as a dedicated yacht broker. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of the lifestyle, I guide every transaction with care and confidence.

Beyond the water, I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I founded and operate Wind Addict, my kiteboarding school, and proudly represent FLITE as a certified eFoil school—introducing riders to the next generation of water sports. My MBA has been a critical asset in growing these ventures, giving me the strategic foundation to lead with purpose and adapt in an ever-evolving market.

With a commitment to excellence and a passion for connecting people to unforgettable experiences, I’m always ready to explore new horizons. Let’s connect and see where the next adventure takes us.

Over the past 15+ years in Miami’s marine industry, I’ve built my career at the intersection of yacht brokerage, vessel command, and operational leadership. My experience on the water and behind the scenes allows me to approach every transaction with both technical insight and real-world practicality.

Yacht Brokerage & Client Advisory

I work closely with buyers and sellers to ensure smooth, transparent, and well-structured transactions. My approach is hands-on and detail-oriented, guiding clients through every stage of the process:

  • Pre-purchase evaluations, surveys, and sea trials

  • Market analysis and pricing strategy

  • Negotiation and contract coordination

  • Maintenance oversight and resale preparation

  • Strategic guidance aligned with lifestyle and investment goals

Being actively involved in the Miami yachting community has allowed me to develop strong relationships with brokers, shipyards, surveyors, and marine service providers — ensuring efficiency and reliability throughout each deal.

Maritime Command Experience

As a USCG-Certified Captain, I’ve commanded and operated a wide range of luxury yachts and performance vessels throughout South Florida and the Bahamas. Experience includes Pershing, Ferretti, Beneteau, Intrepid, Tiara, Sea Ray, and center consoles ranging from 24’ to 80+ feet.

This hands-on background provides a practical understanding of:

  • Vessel condition and performance

  • Maintenance planning and cost awareness

  • Yard periods and upgrade projects

  • Safety, compliance, and operational efficiency

That operational knowledge translates directly into smarter brokerage guidance.

Operational & Logistics Leadership

In addition to my marine career, I previously owned and operated an interstate transportation company managing 18-wheelers across multiple states. Overseeing dispatch, routing, compliance, and cost control strengthened my ability to manage complex logistics and timelines.

Today, that experience enhances how I coordinate vessel transport, surveys, scheduling, and overall transaction flow — ensuring each step is handled with precision.
