Björn Koch
I was born in 1967 in Lübeck on the Baltic Sea and grew up there. At first I was captivated by windsurfing, but I quickly discovered my love of sailing. Since the late 1980s I have skippered numerous sailing trips in the Baltic and North Seas. From 1991 to 1995 I also founded and led the sailing club at the Bundeswehr University in Hamburg, where I taught and examined both theory and practice. During my time in the navy, I took part in numerous sailing regattas, which took me beyond the North and Baltic Seas to the Atlantic coasts of England and France, Spain and Portugal. Over time I sailed the entire Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean. After leaving the navy, my hobby became my profession: from 1997 I worked as a skipper in the eastern Mediterranean. With the purchase of the s/y JOJOBA in December 1999, my long-cherished dream of owning my own boat and being self-employed came true. After nine years as a skipper, at the start of the 2006 season I swapped my workplace on board for a desk in Germany. From Mettmann I now handle bookings and arrange all kinds of holidays involving water. My wife Anne and our two children, Johanna and Joshua, are drawn to the sea just as I am. We regularly spend wonderful days sailing on our JOJOBA. Time and again I also return on board as a skipper to sail the odd trip myself.
