About me
Having gained considerable daywork experience on vessels ranging from 25 to 109m, I am eager to advance my yachting career in a permanent position onboard a private or charter yacht. Growing up on the water I have had extensive exposure to boating and have a passion for watersports, including surfing and kiteboarding, which I believe will give me an advantage in this industry. I feel confident my skill set, friendly disposition and outgoing positive attitude will make me a great crew member to have onboard.
