About

Raised by the ocean in a family of fishermen, I developed a deep connection to maritime life from a young age. With three years of hands-on experience in the yachting industry including a year aboard a 46m motor yacht, where I was promoted from Deckhand to Bosun, I've gained strong skills in deck operations, team leadership, and high-standard service. I left the vessel prior to the following season due to a family illness but remain fully committed to building a long-term career in yachting. I bring a strong work ethic, a collaborative approach, and a genuine passion for life at sea.
