About me
After recently completing my Deckhand training, I am currently seeking a permanent Deckhand position onboard a Private or Charter Motor Yacht. I am motivated to work hard and develop my skills working alongside experienced professionals. My fitness level and strength are both excellent and I cope well with physically challenging work as I’ve worked long hours in the sun as part of my maintenance work. Yachting is a longterm career choice, and I am seeking the relevant experience to pursue my OOW training.
