TRILOGY
Captain Ronald Gonsalves (He is a can do kind of guy)
Ron has been a dedicated and enthusiastic yachtsman since the tender age of seven, when he began racing sailboats on Long Island Sound.
He holds a USCG 500 gross ton license, STCW 95 certification, and numerous additional professional endorsements and certificates. He is also a licensed PADI dive instructor.
Ron’s yachting career began in the late 1980s when he delivered a 72-foot motor vessel from the U.S. to the Mediterranean and then served as her captain for two years in the Mediterranean. Subsequently, he embarked on a year-and-a-half voyage from Taiwan to Fort Lauderdale as captain of an 87-foot sailboat. Before joining Trilogy, he served as captain for 14 years aboard the 104-foot classic sailboat Tioga.
Ron has completed 11 transatlantic crossings and has extensive experience cruising in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, the Bahamas, and along both coasts of the United States. He has also sailed in the Indian and Pacific oceans. He comes by his love of the sea naturally, for he is descended from a long line of marine professionals who originally hailed from the Cape Verde Islands, an archipelago off the west coast of Africa. His father was a captain for Esso (now Exxon), and his grandfather captained commercial tugs and served as captain aboard the S. S. Hampton from the 1920s through the 1940s.
A doctor of economics as well as a seasoned yachting professional, Ron received his undergraduate degree from New York University and completed his graduate and post-graduate study at American University.
With his solid maritime background, Ron is eminently qualified to be captain of Trilogy. With his extensive knowledge and education, coupled with a naturally outgoing nature, he is an exceptionally delightful host.
