About

I’m an experienced Bosun with over three years in the yachting industry, having progressed steadily from Deckhand to Lead Deckhand and now Bosun. During this time, I’ve developed strong hands-on experience with a wide range of vessels and operations — from operating jet-drive tenders to large outboard tenders ranging between 33–44 ft. I also spend a great deal of time on the water, whether it’s skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying time outdoors with friends. Scuba diving is another long-standing passion of mine, and I take every opportunity to explore new dive sites both locally and abroad. Beyond physical activity, I have a strong creative side and enjoy capturing moments through photography and videography. I own and operate my own drone and often use it to film water sports, landscapes, and travel content, continually improving my editing and production skills.

This was a private vessel that cruised th West coast of the USA. We spent most of our time cruising aroing the Seattle are, both in salt and fresh water. This meant we went through locks quite often which was great experience. I was n charge of maintaining and driving the tender which was a 330 Outrage Boston Whaler
