About

As a PT I am elite. As a deckhand and all-round seafarer it is my goal to become elite. I am driven and determined to grow and become the best Deckhand/PT in the industry and thereafter to progress even further. Aside from my professional ambitions, I am an easy going well mannered person who wants to make the most of his time on-board by building solid friendships and contributing towards good crew morale. I believe a happy team is a good team and that cultivating a positive environment, rooted in strong values and respect for one another, is what gives a crew the best chance of doing the best job possible.

Experience

Deckhand/PT

Jun 2025 - Jul 2025
M/Y SP1

I filled in as Deckhand/PT on SP1 for just under a month. This was by far the busiest, most chaotic program I've been involved in. There were many challenges that pushed me well outside of my comfort zone. Despite it being really tough, I am grateful for the experience and the opportunities it provided me with to learn new skills, such as driving larger tenders as well as a more powerful Mastercraft Sports tender for watersports. I also provided guests with a range of different personal training services during my time on SP1.

M/Y Eye (formerly Ace)

My year on Eye was fantastic. I joining in the shipyard in la Ciotat, where I had the opportunity to further my trade skills. This was followed by a very busy Med Season, where I fulfilled the role of Personal Trainer and Deckhand. I spent a lot of time training the Primary Guest, who was a serious fitness fanatic. This was a tremendous challenge, but one I embraced and enjoyed. Whenever I wasn't busy with PT, I was on deck or in the tenders - participating in all the duties that come with being a deckhand on a busy, prestigious Superyacht.

M/Y Titan

I served one year on board this prestigious vessel as Personal Trainer and Deckhand. This was my first big boat and I will forever be grateful for everything I learned during my time on there - from maintenance skills, to all the classic deck duties, to tender driving and various guest operations. I was also exposed to training UHNW individuals for the first time which was an incredible experience.
