About

Hi there, my name is Tash. I’ve recently completed my Yachtmaster and I’m currently looking for my next position. I have experience working on both private and charter vessels. I hold a valid B1/B2 and Schengen visa and I’m available to start immediately. I am currently in South Africa but willing to relocate. In my free time you’ll usually find me anywhere near the ocean as I love surfing, diving, and freediving. I’m excited to continue growing in the industry and would love the opportunity to contribute to your vessel and crew. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss this opportunity onboard your vessel.
