About me
Hi, I’m Hunter Russell! I just finished my Yachtmaster Offshore and absolutely love sailing. I’ve wanted to join the yachting industry for as long as I can remember and I’m now fully focused on making it my career. I bring a great attitude, a strong work ethic, and genuinely enjoy being around positive, down-to-earth crew. I thrive in team environments, love learning new skills, and always give 100% to whatever I take on. I’m excited to keep growing on deck, gain more sea time, and build a future in this incredible industry.
