MYRA Yacht Charter Motor Sailer

Captain: Marco Staniscia

Born in 1969 in Termoli, Marco embarked on his sailing journey two decades ago, initially navigating drift sailing boats and completing a sailing course in Bonifacio.

About 15 years into his maritime career, Marco assumed the role of captain on a Tartan yacht, sailing extensively in the Mediterranean and crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean. With active participation in numerous races and four years of charter yacht experience, he has amassed an impressive 45,000 nautical miles.
Having spent a year as the second captain/deckhand on the Catamaran Genny, Marco is now eagerly taking the helm of Myra for his second season. Renowned for his responsibility, hands-on approach, and positive, cheerful demeanor, he promises to be a valuable addition to the crew. Marco's deep affinity for the sea, coupled with his love for travel and meeting new people, makes him a captain who not only navigates the waters skillfully but also fosters a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere on board.
