About

I am an experienced deck officer with a career spanning yachting and commercial shipping, recently holding my Chief Mate Unlimited / Master 3000 GT certification. I bring strong expertise in navigation, bridge management, ISM/ISPS compliance, and deck operations, combined with hands-on knowledge of yacht maintenance, guest service, and high-standard safety management. I have successfully led deck teams, supervised tender and water sports operations, and coordinated with senior crew to ensure smooth daily running of the vessel. Known for being professional, approachable, and adaptable, I take pride in maintaining the highest standards of safety, seamanship, and service, while supporting both the Master and owners’ vision.
