Hi, I’m Fabio Brunazzi, a yacht captain and social psychologist originally from Italy. I am the creator of Psychology of Sailing where I write about the intersections between these disciplines that inhabit me.

Previously, I worked as a HR consultant and trainer for industrial and commercial firms in Italy. Before that I specialized in group dynamics and change management at Ariele and I was staff of the Shool of Ariele following a Master Degree in Work and Organizational Psychology from Università Milano-Bicocca.

In 2009 I left Italy to run a sailing business in Los Roques, Venezuela. After this experience I stayed on boats crewing and skippering sailing and motor yachts from 30ft to 140ft LOA in the Caribbean, North America and South China Sea.

In 2013 I bought Tranquility, my own sailing vessel which I completely refitted and upgraded for ocean sailing and that took me to many places, doublehanded and singlehanded.

In 2016, I started Psychologyofsailing.com, and came back to psychological consulting and keynote speaking, alongside my passion for Sailing. Past and present clients include Ferrero, Norauto, ST Microelectronics, Kering, . I engage with Social Dreaming and run a popular online series of Social Deaming Events during the pandemic.

Since 2022 I work with Eutelmed as psychosocial risk assessor and cover shifts on the 24/7 Psychological Help line.

I have a big love for mountains, omnivore reading, cooking and basketball.
