Salvatore Curreri

Salvatore Curreri is a USCG-licensed Master Captain with a lifelong connection to the sea. Born in Palermo, Italy and raised in Puerto Rico, he began sailing at a young age and was already captaining small sailboats as a teenager — an early passion that grew into a full-time maritime career.

Based in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Salvatore first built his professional reputation in the sailing charter industry, gaining extensive hands-on experience aboard both monohulls and catamarans from leading brands such as Beneteau, Jeanneau, Hunter, Lagoon, Bali, Sea Runner, and others.

Over the past several years, he has focused heavily on yacht deliveries throughout the Caribbean, serving as captain on a wide range of vessels. He has specialized experience delivering Fountaine Pajot catamarans — both sail and power models — as well as Dufour sailing yachts, working closely with owners and companies to move vessels safely and efficiently between islands and international ports. These offshore passages have strengthened his navigation, passage planning, and vessel management skills across varying sea and weather conditions.

Salvatore also enjoys working directly with boat owners and has provided hands-on instruction to new clients learning to operate both powerboats and sailing vessels, helping them build confidence and seamanship on the water.

He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and brings over 20 years of experience in sales, management, and customer service. His background in business, combined with deep on-the-water experience, allows him to understand client needs, communicate clearly, and provide a professional, reliable, and enjoyable experience on every voyage.

Known for his calm presence at the helm and strong work ethic, Salvatore is committed to safety, professionalism, and making every passage run smoothly.

Testimonials

If you’re in Puerto Rico and dreaming of life on the water—whether you’re a first-time yacht buyer or an experienced captain—IMSYACHTS is the place to go. We worked with Salvatore to purchase our first yacht and turn a long-time dream into reality. As complete newcomers to sailing and first-time buyers making a major investment on the water, the process felt long and intimidating. Salvatore supported us every step of the way, not only guiding us through the purchase but also patiently teaching us about yachts and what this new lifestyle truly involves. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication helped us overcome several challenges that could easily have been deal breakers.

Even after the sale was finalized, Salvatore continued to support us—helping us get acquainted with our boat, learn to sail, and gain the confidence to be on our own. Salvatore, thank you for making this dream possible!
