Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my strong interest in a deckhand position within your crew. With 10 years of experience as a qualified electrician and a growing passion for the maritime industry, I am eager to bring my technical skills, strong work ethic, and enthusiasm for life at sea to your team. Originally trained and employed as an electrician, I’ve spent the past decade working across residential, commercial, and marine environments. This includes a recent role at a marina where I was responsible for servicing shore power systems, vessel connections, and various electrical components onboard yachts. My trade background gives me a strong foundation in troubleshooting and maintaining systems under pressure—valuable skills in the dynamic environment of a vessel. In addition to my electrical work, I completed a full deckhand season on the Gold Coast, where I gained practical experience in docking procedures, line handling, wash-downs, basic navigation support, and guest interaction. That experience solidified my desire to transition full-time into the maritime industry. I’m a hard-working, safety-conscious individual who takes pride in being reliable, proactive, and a team player. I’m ready to commit fully to a deckhand role and am keen to continue learning and contributing in a hands-on capacity. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to join a professional crew and discuss how my background and enthusiasm can benefit your operation.
