About
I am seeking a permanent, long-term position after a period of relief, delivery, and temporary leave cover work. I have 13 years’ experience in yachting, including over seven years on private and charter yachts from 50–105m and over six years ashore as a yachting supplier. I started as a PADI Scuba Instructor in dive centres and on dive-focused yachts, and have progressed step by step from deckhand to lead deckhand, bosun, and officer. I bring strong all-round deck skills including ISM, LSA/FFE, maintenance, carpentry, and practical experience gained through both yachting and a family construction background. I enjoy all types of watersports and am a very keen sailor and kitesurfer. Time ashore in business development with MedAire and Omniaccess strengthened my medical knowledge and commercial, client-focused approach, which I now bring back onboard. I take pride in high standards and hard work, and I’m ready to commit long-term to the right vessel and team.
