About me
Dear sir or madam, I am a fully vaccinated, 19 year old guy who is looking for a deckhand onboard a yacht. My genuine interest for boating and the experience I’ve gained from handling and maintaining tenders my whole life makes me an ideal candidate for a deckhand position. Apart from being skilled in customer service I'm also skilled in water sports and sailing. Furthermore I do possess a general interest in sports and staying active and I particularly enjoy exercise like padel or working out at the gym. Even though I might seem young I have got plenty of experience that is useful and can be an asset to any yacht. In fact, I have worked as a sailing instructor for 4 years and harbor master for 3 years. This has given me skills in fields such as tender operation, service, rope work and boat maintenance. In the springtime I work extra polishing and cleaning boats up to 40 feet. Previous employers describe me as efficient and thorough, with great respect for my work. I easily connect with new people since I’m very adaptable and open minded, hence I always work well in teams. During my years as a harbor master I learned the importance of flawless communication between departments. Something that I can imagine is crucial when working and living as closely with other people as one does on a yacht. I hope to land a seasonal or permanent position onboard a yacht with opportunities of development within the role as deckhand.
Work experience
Harbor Master (Temporary) at 25m Motor Yacht
May 2019 - August 2021 (2 years 3 mons)
The employment meant meeting the approaching boats with a smaller tender and show them to their spot as well as making sure that the docking went safely through handling the lines and assisting with the tender if needed. I was in charge of the fuel station as well as the maintenance of the whole harbor, ensuring that the guest had an exceptional experience. The employment gave me experience in costumer service, tender operation, communication between departments and responsibility. All of which is useful on any yacht.
Sailing Instructor (Temporary) at 7m Sailing Boat
May 2016 - August 2019 (3 years 3 mons 1 day)
The employment consisted of teaching kids and adults the principles of sailing. I demonstrated the use of equipment and the different functions of a sailing boat so that the students knew everything they needed before getting in the boat. While in the boats I sometimes operated a guard tender boat making sure that the students where safe. At other times I was sailing larger vessels known as C55 with several students. The job also included a lot of boat maintenance such as polishing, cleaning and small mechanical works. This job gave me a lot of experience in handling kids, tender operation, sailing, practical teaching, theoretical teaching and responsibility.

Hobbies & Interests
During my spare time I like to go boating with my own 21-foot daycruiser, which I bought as a restoration project when I was 14. The boat ownership as well as my previous job positions has over the years taught me a lot of knowledge that is useful while working as a deckhand. I have also got other hobbies like skiing, sailing, padel and traveling.
