About me
I am a 26 year old native English speaker from the UK who has been doing a range of day work types on a number of different vessels, including a luxury magazine photography shoot and preparing the vessels I was day working on for charters and VIP arrivals, including owners and yacht brokers. Furthermore I have worked in yard sanding, painting and assisting the Captain and First Officer. I have worked independently and in designated groups, in both informal and more formalised crew atmospheres. Prior to this I worked as a tender driver and member of the berthing staff at Bembridge Harbour. Before this I worked as an events and campaign manager for an energy news company, with conference numbers reaching over 500+ visitors from major corporations, including FTSE 500 firms. I also completed my Yachtmaster Offshore Sail w. Auxiliary Power in February 2024. I hope I have the experience you are looking for and that you can see me being a valuable addition to your crew. Hope you have a great season, Harry Matyjaszek
