About

I am an experienced Bosun and Lead Carpenter with over seven years in the superyacht industry, combining strong deck leadership with specialist carpentry and maintenance expertise. I am skilled in managing deck operations, crew supervision, tender operations, mooring, anchoring, navigation watches, and ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism onboard. As a qualified carpenter, I have extensive experience in luxury yacht interior and exterior woodwork, including joinery, teak deck maintenance, fine finishing, veneer repairs, panel removal, cabinetry, locks, blinds, and custom woodworking projects. I take pride in delivering meticulous craftsmanship and maintaining vessels to impeccable guest-ready standards. I am known for my strong work ethic, attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and calm leadership style, I work effectively with both crew and senior officers to ensure smooth vessel operations. I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety
