Career Objective

To whom it may concern, I am writing to you today with the view to gaining a permanent or seasonal position as Captain within the Super Yacht industry. With 14 years’ experience as a Captain on motor yachts for both private and busy charter vessels, I believe I will make the perfect well rounded candidate for the role. I have worked on yachts ranging from 58ft to 130ft managing between 2-8 crew. Within my extensive work history I have had the privilege of working with a wide variety of different owners and clients; this experience has subsequently given me the ability to manage my team/crew members in accordance with my client specifications. I am very hardworking, versatile and motivated with strong organisational skills, confident decision making and ability to remain calm in stressful situations. I have a deep passion for the yachting industry and pride myself on my ability to manage relationships and communicate effectively with people on all levels as well as not only meeting, but acceding expectation wherever possible. Subsequent to this cover letter, I have enclosed a copy of my Curriculum Vitae for your kind review and I welcome the opportunity to further discuss my application. Sincerely yours, Massimo Lai
