About me
Kegan Peterson – Deckhand I’m Kegan Peterson, a driven and detail-oriented professional working in the yachting industry. With a strong passion for the sea and a hands-on approach to deck work, I thrive in dynamic environments where precision, teamwork, and persistence matter most. Known for being a people person with a tireless work ethic, I believe in staying with a task until it’s done right—no shortcuts, no excuses. Whether it’s long hours on deck, handling varnish with finesse, or ensuring a smooth onboard experience, I take pride in doing the job thoroughly and with care. One of my proudest experiences was serving as a deckhand on a 200-nautical-mile offshore voyage to retrieve a sail buoy—an opportunity that tested my endurance, skill, and love for adventure on open water. I’m creative, analytical, and always eager to bring value to the team. With a sharp eye for detail and a dedication to learning and growth, I continue to explore the yachting world with enthusiasm and purpose.
