About me
I’m Dirk Rudolph De Lange, a 27-year-old South African eager to launch a dynamic career in the yachting industry as a deckhand, security officer, or personal trainer. With STCW Basic Training (valid until 2029), ENG1 (valid until 2026), a Certificate of Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (issued February 19, 2025), and a National Diploma in Fitness, I bring a unique blend of maritime readiness and fitness expertise. As a dedicated personal trainer with experience at Body20 Ballito, McKenna Academies, NuHuman, and BodyTech, I specialize in designing tailored fitness programs, leveraging certifications in Bootcamp, Olympic Lifting, Sports Conditioning, and TPI Level 1 to enhance client performance and well-being. New to yachting, I’m highly motivated to learn deckhand duties like line handling, tender operations, and vessel maintenance, with a strong work ethic and adaptability to thrive in dynamic environments. My PDSD qualification equips me to handle security responsibilities professionally, ensuring crew and guest safety. With a construction background and a passion for teamwork, I’m committed to delivering exceptional service and growing toward officer-level roles.
