About

I am a passionate and experienced sailor with over a decade of hands-on maritime expertise. I hold certifications including RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and RYA Powerboat Level II. My experience spans diverse roles from deckhand to skipper aboard both commercial delivery and luxury private yachts across global waters. After a dedicated pause to focus on family and run my own artisan bakery, I am eager to return to the sailing industry with renewed energy and a commitment to excellence.
