About
I have my RYA Yachtmaster Offshore 200GT license with the aim of starting my OOW modules soon. During the course of my time in the industry I have absorbed as much knowledge and as many skills as I could from my senior ranks with the objective of progressing in my career and as of yet have been employed as a bosun on 44m. I have come to understand and appreciate the yachting environment which, from what I’ve gathered, is providing excellent and professional service to guests or owners while maintaining a consistently positive and upbeat presence among crew and the deckhands that I have managed. I have experienced working in fast paced programmes requiring a keen eye for detail and on the spot problem solving which I thoroughly enjoyed. I feel that my skill set along with a genuine enthusiasm for yachting and life will bring a holistically well rounded mariner to your yacht and programme. Thank you for your consideration.
Personal Details
Career Objective
I’ve found my passion in yachting — it’s the one thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. I hold my RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (200GT) and after one year in the industry I am now aiming towards my OOW ticket with my EDH in hand and my GSK module booked. My goal is to keep learning, growing, and building a solid career in this industry. I love the work, the lifestyle, and the opportunity to see the world. Yachting is something I genuinely enjoy and working a mariner is something that I take pride in. I would like to run mu own programme one day, but I understand I have a lot to learn, that being said that is my goal.
