Professional Yacht Skipper

Not at anchor,or made fast to the shore, or aground.

I’m Jan Florensa. I work at sea, study the maritime world and share the real experience behind life on board.

01 — Profile

Built on real days at sea.

janunderway is my personal window into the maritime world: charter operations, boats, navigation and the moments that define a life on board.

My profile brings together operational experience, guest care and communication, always with a professional and hands-on approach.

The best way to understand the sea is to work on it.

From the helm to every detail on board.

Work at sea is a combination of technical judgement, preparation and care for the people on board.
