About me
To whom it may concern, My name is Julian Marais, and I am a healthy 29-year-old South African male, with a valid passport, Seafarers Schengen visa and Seaman’s book. I have sober habits; non-smoker and I don’t use drugs. I get on with all different cultures and I am willing to travel anywhere needed. I am available in 1 weeks’ time. I pride myself in being a polite, self-motivated individual with a positive attitude. I am comfortable working long hours, getting my hands dirty, working in extreme weather conditions and recognize the importance of fitting into a tightly functioning crew. In addition to being a certified deckhand with a Powerboat level 2 and Tender driving ticket, I have also completed my sailing Internship on a 42 FT Sail yacht. Further I have previously worked on various Catamarans in Cape Town (SA) and Croatia. My current experience on offshore supplier’s vessels has taught me to ensure the safety of other crew members and passengers. My primary focus is to obtain a permanent or seasonal position as a deckhand on a Charter or Private Motor / Sailing Yacht with the vision of increasing my skill set and knowledge to further enhance the overall yachting experience. I understand that the competition in this industry is high, but I won’t let you down. I am committed to maintaining a high standard of safety, service, and efficiency and confident that I can excel in this fast-paced environment. Thank you for considering my application, awaiting your positive reply and interest pertaining to my CV and reference checks. God bless Julian Marais
