About me
e developed a profound passion for yachting and its associated experiences through having spent much of my life aboard my family's sailing catamaran. This experience has particularly ignited my interest in the exterior aspects of yachts and the responsibilities associated with excelling as a Deckhand or trusted Mate. Now, I'm actively seeking an exterior position on a private or charter yacht with the dream of becoming a Bosun or Captain. I am highly motivated, thorough, disciplined, and I am not hesitant to take on practical, hands-on tasks and challenges. Whether working alongside a team or independently, I thrive in diverse environments. Challenges in the workspace are something I welcome, and I excel in physically demanding tasks. My goal is to approach every duty with excellence and continually strive for improvement. Joining a professional yacht crew excites me, and I am confident that my skills and attitude would make me a valuable addition to your team.
