About
I have cultivated and refined my expertise over almost seven years on a previous yacht, believing in a hands-on approach, open communication, and a commitment to excellence. I aim to ensure that every guest feels valued and well-cared for during their stay. Safety practices come first, and I balance guests' requests with safety concerns. I strive to create an environment where every crew member feels they have a voice.
