Salceto worked in the financial world all his life, which provided him with an important financial mattress. Seeing that his life was reduced to work and work, in 1997 he decided to break away from the frantic crowd and start a ship for the first time. He loved the experience and after two years he left everything to start a journey without returning to the land..

If I had children and family, I would not be here.” Note that you are not isolated. He recognizes as his family the crew members of the various ships he sails and the tourists he knows from all over the world. In each of these boats. “My family is here”Says proudly.
