About

I’m a French deckhand currently based in Nice, South of France, with hands-on experience onboard prestigious vessels including a temp role on M/Y IJE (108m) during a busy charter period in Tahiti. I hold a French Certificat Matelot Pont (Deck Rating Certificate), STCW with PSA, French Medical (ENG1 equivalent), Medical I and French / Tahitian Permis Côtier (PBL2 equivalent). I am a native French speaker and fluent in English with a solid maritime foundation and a professional mindset. My goal is to secure a 6 to 12-month contract to gain further experience and complete the required sea time for my capitaine 200 qualification. I thrive in fast-paced environments, value teamwork and am ready to support wherever needed on deck.
