Francesco Puglisi
Born in the picturesque town of Mazara del Vallo, Francesco comes from a long line of sailors - his deep passion for the sea runs in the family. After graduating from the nautical institute, he began his career in the yachting industry at the age of 19, quickly diving into the world of nautical charters. He started as a deckhand and swiftly rose to the position of First Officer aboard the Ethna, a Ferretti CL 97.
During his time on Ethna, Francesco honed his professional skills and developed an exceptional rapport with clients, thanks to several demanding and dynamic charter seasons. In 2020, after logging thousands of nautical miles and successfully completing numerous charters across the Mediterranean, he earned the rank of Captain.
Since 2023, Francesco has been at the helm of EOLIA, a Ferretti CL Navetta 26 owned by the same Owner. His leadership and dedication have earned consistent praise from both Guests and Brokers. Thanks to the trust and esteem of the Owner, his colleagues, and his mentor - the former Captain of South - Francesco now proudly commands this prestigious yacht.
