About me
Dear Employer I am an experienced, adaptable and a professional with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. I am especially interested in a deckhand position with engineering or AV/IT duties as I am confident in maintaining mechanics or assisting in doing so as well as comfortable with tech. I enjoy all aspects around yachting, and I am comfortable working where my services are needed. I am hospitable and believe I will serve any ships needs. Currently I am employed as an AV specialist on the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship 'The Independence of the sea' My contract will end in June 2025 were after I hope to join a yacht. Previously I spent one season in Majorca in 2004 where I did day work and crewed as a younger man on a small privately owned motor yacht. I enjoyed this tremendously but after careful consideration I returned to South Africa to study a degree in film making at a local university. During my 14 year career as a filmmaker, I worked as an ENG Cameraman and Video editor for various news channels, the highlight was to film in and around Ukraine during the first part of the war in 2022. I also produced award winning documentaries and a feature film that currently plays on numerous high end streaming platforms. Although I have had some success I feel that I have reached my goals in the local TV & film industry. I believe that any yacht would not only benefit from my abilities in maintenance and upkeep but will find my eagerness to live and learn exceptional. I am responsible, mature and skilled in all aspects of AV/IT , deck duties, engine maintenance as well as in the dry dock as a painter and carpenter I am excited about a new challenging role and the chance to work with a great team. I look forward to a positive response and will encourage interested parties to delve deeper into my profile and to set up an interview to get to know me better. Sincerely P
