About me
I am eager to bring my strong work ethic, adaptability, and keen sense of responsibility to the role of a deckhand. While I am genuinely excited about the prospect of joining your crew and gaining invaluable experience at sea, I also aspire to grow within the maritime industry, eventually taking on more challenging roles that align with my long-term career goals. I am mature for my age, motivated, hardworking, positive, well-mannered with strong work ethics, know the importance of being a team player, keeping moral high & drama free. During courses I was known as a team player, and always willing to put in the extra effort. I am confident in line work, strong tender & PWC handling skills, chart work & eager to gain more knowledge. With my experience in the hospitality industry, I learned how to work under pressure, long hours & I can handle a variety of customers & work with management, chefs & other waiters. Swiss born (no Schengen visa required) raised in South Africa by my Swiss & Zimbabwean parents. I am currently in Antibes.
