FIRST OFFICER: Pedro Rios - Argentinian
Joined Winter 2019
An experienced seafarer, Pedro joined the yachting industry in 2012 as a junior deckhand and has worked himself through the ranks with passion and determination.
Originally from Argentina, he previously enjoyed an 8-year career in the (Argentinian) Navy, where he gained valuable experience in engineering and navigation. Pedro’s drive and ambition turned his attention to the yachting industry, so after a short stint as a limousine tender driver, he was ready to grow into a more challenging role and before long he had secured his first job on- board M/Y Akula (60m)
Pedro's strong career orientated work ethic and self-motivated energy brings out the best in everything he does, and his mentoring skills mean that the crew members around him lead by example.
A lover of all sports, but especially water sports, fishing and swimming, Pedro would love to find time to perfect his languages and improve his woodwork skills.
