Diego has always enjoyed being around the water. He also loves fishing and ‘playing’ with the water toys, as he says, showing the guests a good time is not a job, but a full time favorite thing to do. Diego managed and worked for Boat Rental Company in Miami for many years and from there on found his position as mate on various size vessels. Diego’s last position was on M/Y Dorothy Ann, which also included land based responsibilities of managing a large estate and staff on a private island. He mostly enjoys the navigational aspects of his position, yet, setting out the toys, driving the tender and going fishing is his favorite times on board. Diego lives in Boca Raton and is fluent in 4 languages.
