CAPTAIN FOR HIRE · WORLDWIDE
A licensed captain for your boat, your charter, your passage
I am Gediminas Vengrauskas — a certified Coastal Skipper for sailing and motor vessels up to 24 m LOA, licensed for day and night passages up to 12 NM offshore, with ICC and VHF radio certificates. I skipper charter weeks, day sails and coastal deliveries. Home waters: Greece and Croatia. If you need me somewhere else — I will be there.
When people hire me
Skippered charter weeks
You choose the yacht (I help you pick a good one from a reputable fleet), I sail it and run your week — navigation, moorings, weather calls, taverna tips. You relax; nothing is your problem.
Day sails & events
A single day under sail for a family, a couple, a small team — swim stops, sunset legs, celebrations. Short notice is often fine.
Coastal deliveries
Repositioning a boat between harbours, islands or seasons — up to 24 m, day and night within coastal limits. Planned honestly around weather windows, delivered with a full report.
Sail your own boat
A professional aboard your own yacht: passage support, manoeuvring practice in real harbours, building the confidence to go further on your own.

What you get with me aboard
- One written, all-in quote and one point of contact from first message to disembarkation.
- Weather-aware passage planning — and the honesty to change the plan when the forecast says so.
- A calm, safety-first boat where guests are briefed without being lectured.
- Fast replies on WhatsApp before and during your trip.
- English or Lithuanian aboard — your choice.
Where I sail
Home waters are the Greek islands and the Croatian Adriatic. Deliveries and charters elsewhere in the Mediterranean — and beyond — are welcome: tell me the harbour and the dates.
How booking works
- Tell me your plan. Dates, waters, boat (if you have one), crew. Two sentences are enough.
- Get a straight answer. Within 24 hours: whether I am right for the job, a route or boat suggestion, and one written quote.
- Confirm and sail. A simple written agreement locks the dates. Then the sea does the rest.
Tell me your dates
I will tell you honestly whether I am the right captain for the job — and what it will cost, all-in.
