About me
I am a positive, fully vaccinated, punctual, normal 28-year-old guy who enjoys a bit of fun banter. I am easy going personality wise, flexible work wise, and quick to pick up new skills and take initiative when needed. After spending the first part of this year traveling and diving ashore, I am ready to start on a MY again. I can offer a variety of skills to your vessel as a Deckhand or Deck/Dive Instructor. I have worked on yachts from 40m to 86m. During my time on previous vessels I gained experienced in navigational watch, docking, fishing, teak care and maintenance, boat maintenance and repairs, washdowns, large tender driving (jet and inboard), dive management, maintenance and dive planning, basic carpentry, jet skis, eFoils, sea bobs, lines and fenders, beach setups and snorkelling. I have a strong attention to detail especially when it comes to maintaining the yachts appearance as well as noticing and addressing the finer points of guests needs and comforts. My ENG1 is valid until June 2025 and my STCW valid to October 2025. I have a valid driver’s license, seaman’s book and do not smoke or have tattoos. B1 visa valid to 2031. Attached is my CV which provides further details of my experiences and qualifications. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background and skills make me a strong candidate for this position. I look forward to the possibility of joining the vessel to prove I am a worthy crew member.
