FORZA QUIETA

Name: Francesco Giuditta
Nationality: Italian
Position: Deckhand
Position details: Deckhand
Languages: Not specified
Description: Francesco is a young Neapolitan mariner who has spent the past five seasons quietly building a solid foundation in yacht deck work across the Gulf of Naples and the Tyrrhenian. Since his first posting in 2020 aboard the 42-metre Crowbridge, he has progressed through a succession of vessels including the 36-metre Puma and most recently the 23-metre Pr. Julia, accumulating real hands-on experience in daily deck operations, tender maintenance and the routine that keeps a yacht running smoothly between charters.
Reliable, team-oriented and at ease in the physical demands of life on board, Francesco also brings a useful additional dimension: a culinary course completed in early 2026 and practical galley support experience aboard the Eleonora, making him a genuinely flexible crew member who can step in where needed beyond the deck.
Francesco has the right paperwork and the right attitude for a charter programme that values quiet competence and consistent effort.
