PROFILE

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ROTATIONAL/RELIEF/TEMPORARY LARGE YACHT ASSIGNMENTS

With over 30 years professional yachting experience and more than 300,000 world-wide sea miles under the keel, I am one of the most highly qualified Yachting Professionals in the world today, holding the Republic of the Marshall Islands unlimited tonnage RII/2 Master (Yachts) License, as well as both the MCA Master, 3000gt (Yachts) and Chief Engineer (Y2) Licenses.

I have commanded yachts up to 106m (348') in length and, in addition to conventional drive arrangements, have experience with KaMeWa jet drives, Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP) and 360-degree azipod propulsion units.

In an industry where appearance and image are of paramount importance, my commands and Crews have been consistently praised for the very highest standards of presentation, performance and service.

My strengths lie in my professionalism, dedication and integrity, coupled with the determination to exceed expectations in every aspect of my duties - an ethic emphasised and instilled into my Officers and Crew.

As evidenced by my resume, over the past few years I have completed numerous relief assignments on a select few highly prestigious vessels, which has afforded me the luxury of being extremely selective in the on-going search for my "perfect" permanent position, which is a long-term large yacht command where I can deliver the highest possible standards of service and build a great rapport with the Owner.
