About

As a seasoned maritime professional with decades of boating and yachting experience, I bring proven leadership, hands-on technical skill, and a deep passion for the water to every role I take on. I hold a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Master’s License and have spent my career operating both power and sail vessels with precision, professionalism, and safety at the forefront. My background includes over four years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard, countless yacht deliveries across the East Coast and Caribbean, and extensive work in the boating industry as both a captain and business owner. I am now seeking a full-time Captain position aboard a motor yacht based on the U.S. East Coast, with the ability to fly in for trips, projects, or maintenance as needed. I am flexible, available year-round, and eager to work with an owner to establish a schedule that balances operational needs with consistency and reliability. My ideal arrangement includes a compensation package of $100,000 annually plus expenses, reflecting both my qualifications and the high level of care and expertise I bring to the role. In addition to technical proficiency and seamanship, I take pride in being approachable, adaptable, and family-oriented. My wife and children are my anchor, and they keep me grounded in balancing a demanding career with the importance of stability and integrity. Owners and crew find me easy to work with, highly communicative, and detail-driven — whether overseeing routine maintenance, managing projects, or ensuring flawless guest experiences on the water. I bring not only the capability to safely command and manage a yacht but also the mindset of a trusted partner in protecting your investment, delivering world-class guest experiences, and keeping operations smooth year-round. With deep roots in the boating lifestyle, strong problem-solving skills, and an unwavering commitment to safety and excellence, I am ready to be the captain you can depend on.
