About me
Good day Captain / Hiring Manager I'm a South African deckhand based in Antibes, ready to work and serious about building a real career on the water. Before yachting, I spent two years as a hands-on cycle technician working on high-end mechanical equipment - precision builds, hydraulic systems, complex fault diagnosis, high finish standards. I understand how things work and I take pride in how they look when the job is done. I also competed at national level in mountain biking, which taught me more about physical endurance, mental discipline and performing under pressure than anything else could. I don't drink or smoke. I'm fit, easy to work with, professional around owners and guests, and I genuinely enjoy the work, including the unglamorous parts. My certs are all current: STCW, PB2 (commercially endorsed), Tender Operator, PWC, SRC, Radar, ENG1. Schengen visa valid to 2028. No tattoos. I came to Antibes because this is where careers start. I'm available, and I'm ready to learn, contribute and earn my spot in the yachting industry.
