About
I am a loyal, enthusiastic South African deck/stew + deckhand with over two years of yachting experience on both private and charter yachts. Skilled in line handling, tender driving, washdowns, teak and deck maintenance, and guest service, I bring versatility from both deck and interior work. Growing up on the water fostered my passion for boating, water sports, and life at sea, which has shaped my career path. I hold STCW (with PDSD), ENG1, and RYA Powerboat Level 2 and am committed to progressing within the deck department, aiming to advance into senior roles through further training, mentorship, and hard work. I pride myself on being adaptable, proactive, and detail-oriented, thriving both independently and within a team.
