About

I have previous Lead Deckhand and Relief Bosun experience, having worked on two new build projects and busy private/charter yachts from 50m to 147m. I’m used to taking real ownership of deck operations, standards, and projects, and I’ve regularly stepped into the Bosun role when required; managing crew, overseeing safety, and planning day-to-day operations. I have extensive tender driving experience across all propulsion types, including a 12m Brabus Axopar, 10-12m limos, jet and prop tenders, and catamarans. I also have extensive davit and knuckle boom crane experience, taking charge of launching and recovery or tenders in various conditions.
