About me
I have extensive experience working as a Chief Officer on several yachts and maintaining them to the highest standards. I lead by example and prefer having a more hands on approach so I may ensure all of the guests needs are being catered to, the crew are experienced and fit for duty, and that all safety measures are being met. Prior to joining the yachting industry, I worked as a Dive Master in Durban, South Africa. I am familiar with skippering tenders up to 47ft be it outboard, inboard or jet engines. I also have experience operating all standard yachting toys such as Seabobs, hydrofoils, and wave runners. During my tenure of over 5 years on M/Y Wanderlust, a 50m Westport, I had extensive helm time maneuvering the vessel, adhering to Class and Flag surveys, managing contractors and maintaining deadlines.
