OUR STORY
My name is Andrei, I am an experienced and skilled skipper and the owner of YachtMamaia.ro
In my pursuit of my dream, I have had an interesting and adventurous life.
I was born at the end of November on the shores of the Black Sea and was baptized only a few weeks later directly in the waters of Lake Siutghiol by a synod of priests. As I grew up, I was constantly drawn to the sea.
At only 13 years old, I started my career as a lifeguard on the beach in Eforie, where I had the opportunity to save many swimmers and water sports practitioners for almost 7 years.
In my free time, I taught myself how to handle a small sailing boat with a single sail that I managed to buy with the money I earned as a lifeguard. At the same time, I also enjoyed daily diving activities and was known as “Oxy” because I often had to refill my oxygen tank.
It was 1998, when I visited the training ship “Mircea” for the first time as a marine, I discovered an incredibly beautiful ship – an A-class sailboat, with three masts and a total sail area of 1750 square meters . I was so excited that I would have given absolutely anything to be allowed to sail this ship.
The idea of organizing sailing trips then haunted me for years.
In 2010, since sailing fascinated me and I couldn’t get it out of my mind since childhood, I had the opportunity to turn my dreams into reality.
And even after so many years, the enthusiasm of our guests and the commitment of our crews keep us sailing…
