Gustavo Costa

• Living aboard the luxurious monohull Hylas 70', I embraced a role encompassing First Mate, Deckhand, Steward, and Chef duties. I delved into a myriad of responsibilities that showcased my versatility and skills as a handyman. From maintaining water and vacuum pumps, gray water tanks, and changing water maker and fresh water filters, to setting up sails, conducting overall repairs, polishing metals and meticulously cleaning teak and bilges, I ensured the yacht's seamless operation and pristine condition.
• During charters, I assumed responsibility for food preparation and cleanliness across cabins, heads, galley, cockpit, deck & lockers, also being the dinghy driver for water sports and guests pick-ups.
• Additionally, I have played a pivotal role in sailing maneuvers, anchorage, and watch leader shifts, adeptly trimming sails, adjusting course and navigating adverse weather conditions. Notably, I participated in an ocean crossing from Mallorca in Spain to Fort Lauderdale, USA. Accumulating over 8000 miles of sailing experience and solidifying my expertise in navigating the open seas.

• As a seasoned lifeguard, I have dedicated three full Summer seasons collaborating with the Military Fire Department in the South of Brazil, alongside completing another six successful seasons in Portuguese beaches & resorts.

With experience spanning three full seasons in Austria, I've honed my skills across various hospitality roles. As a Commis de Rang at Riederalm Good Life Resort in Salzburg, I ensured seamless dining experiences with attention to detail and top-notch customer service. Prior to that, as a Breakfast Chef at Fahrner Hotel and Riffel Alp Lodge in Sankt Anton am Arlberg, I mastered the art of crafting delightful breakfast buffets and personalized orders. My journey began at Gasthof Auwirt in Sankt Michael in Lungau, where I undertook diverse tasks from housekeeping to assisting in the kitchen and even outdoor maintenance with diligence and expertise.
