Rickard has been in the yachting industry since he was 16 years old and has worked on yachts his entire life. He is extremely passionate about what he does and is always there to help and assist his clients. During his years in the Mediterranean and United States as a delivery captain he has accumulated vast knowledge of all brands and their pros and cons and several years of overseeing manufacturing of yachts between 68’ - 120’ has given Rickard a keen eye for quality and craftsmanship.

When you are looking for the right representative, you will want to hear about Rickard’s background. He is a native of Sweden who began his Captain’s career at a very young age of sixteen. Rickard was the youngest person in Swedish history to take their skipper examination. He immediately joined the Swedish Sea Rescue. At nineteen years of age he moved to Spain where he began delivering yachts throughout the Mediterranean. In more recent years, Rickard served as a corporate captain for Lazzara Yachts where he was in charge of delivering and training crew personnel and the new owners. During that time he also served as a customer support representative for the Lazzara LSX line and was closely involved with Volvo Penta’s development of the very first IPS Quad installation. Rickard’s impressive background and his knowledge of the industry assure clients that they will experience world class service when looking to buy or sell their vessel.

When Rickard is not working he enjoys spending time with his family and friends, boating, skiing, and traveling around the world. Rickard is fluent in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and conversational Spanish.
