M/Y La Familia

Chief Officer of a fully commercial run private yacht, in charge of ISM, ISPS. With a deck crew of 4, we went through a 4 months shipyard with lots of contractors and jobs ongoing. After a successful winter period we went to Greece, Turkey for the season. Due to some family circumstances that required my full attention, left me unable to fulfil my contract.

M/Y Khalidah

Chief Officer of a New build 60m Amels new series, in charge with ISM, ISPS and all the aspects of the vessel. After the launch we had to setup the whole vessel on Deck, ISM and all the SOP`s. During my time onboard I had a fantastic team and we did our best for the owner. Unfortunately, the vessel got a new management company and the entire crew were replaced on a short notice. I took over as Captain and run the entire vessel in a safe and professional manner.
