Marina Princess is part of the Cruceros Portmany passenger ferry fleet, operating in the San Antonio de Portmany area.

My duties onboard included machinery maintenance, assisting with mooring operations, boat cleaning, and setting up AV/IT systems for events. The company operates two additional ferries in a similar manner, and we were sometimes required to switch between vessels based on operational needs.
