About Darren
“Rest assured your vessel and crew are in safe hands operated by an experienced ocean sailor. I have racked up over 25,000NM, sailing the Viking route across the Northern Atlantic to Greenland and the UK, navigating to the edges of the Mediterranean Sea and finishing a circumnavigation of the northern Atlantic Ocean from the Canaries to the Caribbean. In these sailing expeditions, I have grown fond of the sea, appreciating its power and beauty. I am a professionally educated, non-smoker, clean and punctual. I am a USCG Master with STCW certificates. I am also a FAA Licensed Pilot, PADI Licensed Diver, DOT Licensed Commercial Driver, and overall lover of everything ADVENTURE. I also hold a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering and have 10+ years job experience in that field.”

Darren and Amanda are first class across the board: everything about our 4-day charter was spectacular. Lovely, hyper-efficient and beautifully organized, they anticipated every need and accommodated every request. We learned a ton about sailing and the islands we visited. Amanda prepared healthy gourmet meals, and Darren hiked with my husband and provided guided tours. We also enjoyed the gorgeous trimaran. This trip was a rare treat and we can’t wait to return to Panda Rossi. Thank you both!
