While I am new to working aboard yachts, I have invested significant effort in acquiring a robust set of qualifications that provide me with a strong foundation for a career in the yachting industry. These courses have equipped me with a solid foundation in seamanship, safety, and maintenance—skills I am excited to put into practice. Additionally, my hands-on experience in line handling, knot-tying, fiberglass repairs, painting, and tender/jet ski operation, combined with my ability to interpret weather and swells, makes me a versatile and capable candidate. These include: ✅ RYA Powerboat Level 2 ENG1 (in progress) ✅ RYA Tender Operator ✅ SAMSA Medical ✅ RYA PWI Instructor ✅ RYA PWC ✅ RYA Diesel Engine ✅ RYA Radar RYA ✅ VHF Radio ✅ Superyacht Rigging & Working Aloft ✅ Superyacht Advanced Deckhand ✅ Superyacht Deckhand Superyacht ✅ Introduction to Efficient Deckhand ✅ Introduction to Barista ✅ STCW 2010 (PSSR, EFA, PST, MFF, PDSD) As a passionate and ocean-savvy South African with a lifelong connection to the sea (surfing, canoeing, waterski, diving, watersports, etc.), I am eager to bring my skills, dedication, and strong work ethic to a professional yacht crew. Beyond my technical abilities, I am physically fit, adaptable, and thrive in team-oriented environments. My background as a surf instructor, along with holiday work at Devcotech Electrical Engineering assisting with solar panel installations, has honed my problem-solving skills and reinforced my commitment to delivering exceptional results under pressure. I am based in Durbanville, Cape Town, and available to relocate or travel as needed. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of joining the yachting industry through your esteemed placement services. Sincerely, Hardworking, honest, and friendly South African
