About

I’m a Bosun with 3+ years of hands-on experience in deck operations and maintenance. I hold a Master of Yachts 200GT certificate and am highly proficient in operating chase boats and tenders, including inboard, outboard, and jet systems. My confidence in daily deck operations extends to crane handling and managing a wide range of water sports and toys, such as Jet Surf, E-Surf, E-Foil, SeaBobs, jet skis, wakeboards, and mono skis. I am also a certified PADI Rescue Diver and PWC Instructor. I like to maintain peak physical condition through rigorous fitness training. Additionally, I hold strong practical skills in painting, polishing, filling, sanding, carpentry, and basic electrical work. These capabilities, along with a commitment to excellence and attention to detail, are outlined in my professional profile. I am dedicated to long-term opportunities and eager to bring my diverse skill set to your team, helping uphold and exceed the high standards expected in the industry.
