About

As a seasoned and proactive yacht engineer, I offer extensive experience from both private and charter yachts, including several Sole Engineer positions where I was fully responsible for the maintenance and troubleshooting of all onboard systems. My expertise covers advanced entertainment and network systems—such as Crestron multi-room installations, Starlink, Taurus, and other integrated solutions—as well as hydraulic systems, engine room operations, machinery oversight, and deck equipment management. I have managed a wide range of technical operations, from overseeing complex yacht refits involving electrical, AV/IT, and mechanical systems to maintaining water toys and supporting water sports activities. My strong tender driving abilities and practical deck skills, including mooring, anchoring, teak maintenance, fiberglass repairs, etc enable me to support operations across all aspects of yacht management.
