Present yourself:
I am seeking the next challenge in my career as I am ready to take command of my next vessel.
I have over 12 years of professional experience working in the Yachting Industry, majority of which include a heavy amount of luxury chartering in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Islands of the Bahamas. I have gained 8 Atlantic crossings, and various voyages through the Northwest Passage, the Arctic, the Pacific, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and the seas throughout the Mediterranean, all of which I held an Officer ranking on board to aid in navigation, helm manning, and crew and vessel management. I have extensive refit, Flag and Class survey experience in globally recognized yards in Europe and the USA, where I developed strong working relationships with yard managers and foreign contractors, and also showcased my abilities in managing complex project budgets and timelines.
My management style is very ‘hands on’, as I enjoy working with all experience levels of crew. I set standards by leading by example and one-on-one teaching. I have extremely good people skills and a keen eye for detail. I am reliable and fit naturally in any environment.
