Born in Venezuela, Jose was introduced to the world of sailing at an early age. By the time he was seven, he was already sailing small boats, competing in regattas, and working at a rigging shop—fully immersed in the sailing lifestyle from the start. In 2008, Jose became a licensed captain and began handling yacht deliveries and working at major boat shows, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of vessels. Over the years, he established himself within the sailing community, particularly along the east coast of Puerto Rico, where he has spent much of his career working on sailboats. Today, Jose is based in Puerto Rico, where he serves as both a yacht broker and fleet manager for SailCaribe. With a lifelong passion for sailing and a deep understanding of the industry, he brings both expertise and dedication to every aspect of his work.
