Captain Miguel joined the DOUCE FRANCE team with extensive global experience, including a full circumnavigation, giving him a well-rounded expertise. Originally starting his career in the advertising industry, working with agencies like Vitrubio/Leo Burnett and Cathedral, Miguel chose to leave this behind in 2002 to pursue his true passion for sailing. In 2008, he graduated from the Atlantic Fishing Nautical School in Vigo, Pontevedra, as a Higher Technician in Navigation, Fishing, and Maritime Transport. He also holds a Master 500GT and Chief Mate 3000GT. Since then, he has
built a solid career in the superyacht industry, starting as a boatswain and working his way up through roles on private and busy charter yachts.
Miguel is passionate about sailing and feels privileged to sail the unique DOUCE FRANCE. He is committed to personal and team growth, thriving on challenges and professional development. In particular, he embraces the innovative technologies that are currently pushing the boundaries in recreational sailing. In his free time, Miguel enjoys windsurfing, surfing, playing the guitar, working on classic yachts and workshop projects, and immersing himself in sci-fi books and movies.
