About

I grew up in Curaçao, surrounded by the sea and boats from a young age. I have always been passionate about the water and have built my experience around practical boating and yachting work. I started working in the industry at 16 on commercial day charter catamarans (60–80ft), gaining hands-on experience in deck operations, guest service, and vessel handling. After obtaining my certifications at 18, I continued training under experienced captains, further developing my seamanship skills, including maneuvering and operational support in a busy charter setting. More recently, I have worked aboard the 73-meter motor yacht Starfire, completing two successful charters and gaining valuable experience in a professional superyacht environment. I would describe myself as a positive, motivated and hardworking team player who adapts quickly and works well within a team. I take responsibility seriously and bring a strong work ethic onboard. I am known for being approachable, reliable, and consistent in maintaining a positive atmosphere onboard. I am now looking to continue growing within the yachting industry and further develop my skills in deck operations and seamanship.
