Meet Michael Gorshtein
Michael joined Haflaga out of a true love for the water. After receiving his skipper license, he personally faced all the pain points of the market: pier chaos, vague service, and opaque rules. Today, he manages relations with vessel owners and affiliated suppliers, strictly requiring from every partner the exact level of quality you expect.
As an active captain, Michael knows every marina in the country. His goal is to set an international standard where boat owners get stability, while guests receive the ideal atmosphere, safety, and confidence in every minute on the water.
In their own words
What is the advantage of being a skipper yourself?
I see the whole picture: through the eyes of the captain, the owner, and the guest. Pier issues get solved long before they can ruin anyone's time off.
What major flaw in the local market did you fix?
Blind spots. The yachting market used to be a closed club. We brought transparency, honest ratings, and clear rules for every vessel.
One tip for someone booking their first trip?
Trust the crew. You are not just choosing a yacht, you are choosing an atmosphere: a family outing with kids, romance at sunset, team building, or sports. The platform will deliver exactly what you envisioned.
