Meet us – the crew and the owners of Malo 39 “Tranquility”

Let us introduce ourselves. We are Tomek and Aleksandra – a couple from Poland.
Tomek – captain of Tranquility, previously Boeing 737 captain. The difference is that now he’s not wearing uniform any more 🙂 

Aleksandra – above each captain there is admiralty, right? This is how the hierarchy looks like on S/Y Tranquility 🙂 Back in the days DHC-8 captain and Boeing 737 first officer. My side job is photography.

We are both licensed skippers and advanced divers.

Traveling has always been a huge part of our lives.

Before we cast the lines, we’ve been working as airline pilots in Europe and the Middle East. We’ve visited more than 70 countries and we wanted more!
The dream to sail the world came to our minds several years ago. We love sailing, diving, hiking and outdoors, so living full-time on a sailboat looked like a perfect opportunity to connect most of our hobbies together. Since then we’ve been preparing to quit our jobs, plan our journey and research all necessary fields we needed.

We’ve started actively looking for a boat in 2021.

Over the course of a year and a half, we visited countless places, explored various options, and searched for the perfect boat. It didn’t take long to realize that the “perfect” boat doesn’t really exist—and along the way, our own criteria evolved significantly. This extensive search gave us not only our dream boat, but also a deep understanding of the yacht-buying process—something we now use to support others on the same journey.

👉 If you’re starting your own search (or feeling stuck in the middle of it), check out our consulting offer here. We offer personalized guidance to help you avoid common pitfalls, save time, and make confident decisions.

You can also read our detailed post on how to find the right boat for you, or dive into more about our journey here.

We’ve decided to create this blog, to share with you our voyage but also to give a helping hand to those who follow a similar path. We’ll be publishing travel, sailing and technical posts, so we are sure that everyone will find something interesting.
