Guido is certainly well known to most sailors. He started sailing quite late, but got straight into it. After a short learning period, he did his big Atlantic tour from 2012-2014 with his ‘Carpe Diem’, a Bavaria 32 Holyday, followed by his Scandinavian tour ‘Around the Tiger’ in 2017, also with his CARPE DIEM. Guido will mainly be skippering our northern tours on the Garcia Exploration from 2020.

From 0 to 100, that’s how you could describe Simon’s sailing career. Since a trip around the world almost 30 years ago, when he sailed in the Whitsunday Islands in Australia, he has never let go. Since his SKS exam in November 2019, he has sailed more than 10,000 nautical miles, crossed the Atlantic, obtained all German marine radio licences and confirmed his experience with the SHS qualification. In 2022, he also gained further qualifications as part of a World Sailing Safety Training course. In 2024, he successfully completed the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore training. His knowledge as a toolmaker and mechanical engineer benefited him just as much as his training as a PADI diving instructor, where he learnt a lot about conveying the fun of the sport as well as the technical content. He enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge with others and introducing newcomers to sailing.

Axel started sailing relatively late in 2003, but then went straight into the full swing of things. In addition to the SKS, he soon completed the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification and then the YM Ocean.
From 2011 to 2021, Axel ran his own GibSea 52.2 yacht charter in Turkey and Greece. He therefore has more than 20,000 nautical miles of experience.

Tommy’s sailing career began in 1976 at the age of just 8. His first sailing area was Lake Baldeney in Essen. After only a short time, he was already taking part in junior regattas in various boat classes. At the age of 16, he sailed on a large yacht in Spain for the first time. Tommy has now completed around 50,000 nautical miles on all European waters, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the North Seas. Among other things, he has crossed the Atlantic three times. Most recently, he has also worked as a trainer and instructor for various sailing licences and further training courses.

Yannick started sailing as a child on an Opti and his uncle’s catamaran. Over the years, he developed a great enthusiasm for cruising and a special interest in seamanship, navigation and meteorology. After obtaining the SBF-Binnen and SBF-See, he went on to obtain the SKS, RYA-Yachtmaster Coastal, SRC, SSS and finally the SHS and RYA-Yachtmaster Offshore due to his desire to pursue sailing professionally. Yannick will be organising sailing trips on the Polaris.
