About

Seeking a Deckhand or Deck/Divemaster position on a professional private or charter motor yacht. I am a hardworking and reliable crew member with experience operating on private yachts across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Greek Islands. I bring strong deck skills including tender driving, line handling, anchoring, night watch duties, watersports support and full exterior maintenance. Having served as Sole Deckhand on M/Y Katty, I am confident working independently while maintaining high standards onboard. With a Yachtmaster Offshore certification, over 5000 nautical miles logged and PADI Divemaster qualifications, I am motivated to continue growing within the superyacht industry and contribute positively to a professional crew environment.
