ZAMYDLACZ
Captain Artur Szklarz

A few words about me

My name is Artur Szklarz, but my friends call me Zamydlacz. I have two impossible daughters, a son and an extremely understanding wife.
I've done all sorts of things in my life. I worked in a warehouse, I was a teacher, a bartender, I worked in a cultural center, I was a journalist and the creator of the International Culture Festival. I led my own ensemble of seven musicians and a sixteen-member choir, and created (and create) music out of need and for needs.
For eight years I co-created the promotion department of one of the largest media companies in Poland, and ... I sailed.
As a captain, I led over 250 commercial cruises on various vessels - from 7.5 to 40 m in length, from modern "plastics" to sailing oldtimers. I worked on board private premium class yachts, both sailing and motor. I left over 75,000 nautical miles (including several thousand miles alone) sailing in the Baltic, North, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean. In addition to the obvious things such as: excellent knowledge of the sailing profession, good maritime practice, knowledge of technical issues and safety, I put a lot of emphasis during cruises on a good atmosphere on the ship, passing on as much knowledge as possible to the willing and caring for the customer not only when he is on board. All this makes many people want to sail with me again.

My maxim:
To regret nothing, one would have to do nothing, but only then would life be miserable.
