PROFESSIONAL & PERSONABLE
Excellence, from deck to galley.
It’s not just the boat that makes a trip memorable, more often than not, it’s the crew. When you charter Sørvind, you not only get a top-notch crew, you get an adventure concierge, a partner in play, a memory maker and, most importantly, a new group of friends.
Bringing a wealth of sailing experience and an unwavering commitment to going above and beyond, the Sørvind crew is raising the bar in terms of professionalism, service, safety and fun.

FIRST MATE
Nahuel Pache
Port of Origin: Rosario, Argentina
Pache began his sailing journey on the Parana River getting involved with all the water sports on offer. He became a watersports instructor, teaching Wind surfing, Kayaking and Sailing before deciding to explore adventures in the Caribbean, as well as sailing across the Atlantic. Pache particularly enjoys competing in Regattas which he has a very solid background in so be sure for some serious sailing onboard Sørvind with him on deck.
When it comes to guest experience, Pache draws not only on his sailing instructor past but also his hospitality experience, having worked at his parents restaurant in Argentina. Thanks to this he is the perfect all rounder providing entertainment, service and skill set for life on Sørvind.
STEWARDESS
Olivia Williams
Port of Origin: The Solent, England
Olivia has developed a lifelong passion for the sea, having grown up on the South Coast of the UK, where she enjoyed life on the water from a young age. This combined with her hospitality experience is what inspired her to pursue a career in yachting. Olivia now brings that experience to life onboard Sørvind, along with a calm professional energy.
Make sure to enjoy one of her delicious cocktails while watching the sunset at anchor for the ultimate experience onboard Sørvind.
ENGINEER
James Fawcett
Port of Origin: Essex, England
James was first introduced to sailing through his dad who competed in the Fastnet race over multiple years. As a family they would enjoy sailing holidays around Scotland, the Highlands and Sweden cruising in a Sigma 38. This led James to sail across the Atlantic in a class 40 and then more recently race in The Voile in Saint Tropez in the Schooner Puritan. But his sailing has always been a hobby until joining Sorvind. He has spent the last eight years as a Brewer in London which is where his engineering experience stems from. Now James is excited to combine his engineering knowledge with sailing on a high performance yacht.
Make sure to ask James for an Engine Room Tour or quiz him on his masters in Musical Composition and he might even bring out his guitar for a tune or two.
CHASE BOAT CAPTAIN
Paolo Battistoli
Port of Origin: Garda, Italy
Having started his sailing days on Lake Garda, Paolo progressed to sailing instructor, teaching Optimist and Laser to the next generation before moving further afield to pursue a life at sea. Having spent some time working on boats in Canada and the Caribbean he then moved to Australia and the South Pacific for five years doing yacht deliveries and then day charters out of Sydney Harbour. He has built up an extensive range of experience and has now returned to the Mediterranean to work as the Chase Boat Captain on Sørvind.
Paolo, along with the rest of the Sørvind crew, are very excited for guests to enjoy the added benefit of having a chase boat which will take their holiday to the next level.
