About

I have spent most of my life on the water, operating and maintaining motorboats and sailing vessels in the Stockholm archipelago. With over 10 years of hands-on boating experience, I've developed strong skills in tender driving, watersports, vessel upkeep, and navigation both day and night. I'm reliable, practical, and take pride in doing things thoroughly. Now I'm looking to apply my experience professionally as a deckhand and grow into a long-term career in the yachting industry.
