(…)“As captain of the „Salomon“, Mr Pfister managed the nautical business conscientiously and with a strong knowledge of international and internal regulations and concepts. Mr Pfister has outstanding people skills. In his role as captain, he didn’t hesitate to discuss and to solve any conflicts that arose, whether with staff or clients.
In work training or in nautical manoeuveres he was organized and was able to motivate and lead the youth to work in a cooperative team. Mr Pfister worked carefully with resources. His ability and willingness to work hard and also be flexible were highlighted everyday, whether during sea crossings, ship dock operations or daily pedagogic interactions. He worked respectfully with all staff. Be it with the technical and the mechanical teams on the docks during maintenance work or with the pedagogic team during normal ships operations. In team work Mr Pfister was always constructive and accommodating and willing to get involved, his opinions were respected and valued. Jan Pfister always accomplished his tasks on board or on land discreetly, responsibly, efficiently, with enthusiasm and to our complete satisfaction.“(…)

„Jan is a very professional, forward-looking and forward-thinking skipper, who can rely on him in every respect, he is able to handle difficult situations sovereignly, he has a truly extraordinary practical and theoretical knowledge and can pass on this knowledge very well and – above all – understandably. He is a man with decent commandments, but always quiet and competent, and Jan is extremely pleasant as a human being. All these reasons have led us to book leisure sail trips with Jan for many years and we intend to do so for a long time. „
