Hi, my name is STEFANO CIONI, I am an experienced Skipper, RYA Instructor and fully accredited small craft Surveyor through the Italian Chamber of Commerce and an Accredited Member of the Italian Naval League and RYA.
I have been involved in all aspects of small vessel inspection and repair since 2010. I have been involved with vessels affected by the MCA Codes of Practice since 2016 when I setted up the company Red Rose Marine Ltd.
I regularly travel in UK, Spain, France & Europe at the request of clients.
I have the experience of several successful ocean crossings under sail. I have delivered modern luxury sail and motor yachts over 2000 nm voyages and has user experience in most types of vessels.
As Surveyor, in addition, due to my qualifications as MCA Master, RYA Yachtmaster Instructor Assessor/Examiner and Training Skipper at Sir Robin Knox-Johnston’s Clipper Race Round the World, I have the hands-on “time in” as a small craft user, which all helps him ensure the inspection covers much more than just the obvious faults.
