Deckhand
Managed VVIP guest services and participated in anchoring and maintenance operations. I was the sole deckhand onboard and did all the detailing and washdowns as well as assisted the Interior and Engineering departments. I joined the vessel while it was finished being built in the shipyard, so I gained invaluable experience as it was my first New Build yacht and first professional yacht position outside of South Africa.
