| | Please allow me to introduce myself; I am an experienced yachting professional currently looking for a position on a large yacht.
For the last 12 years, I have been building, setting up and running yachts from 100’ - 240'. I am self motivated, loyal and trustworthy and have a proven track record of meeting and exceeding the Yacht Owner’s expectations and needs.
For more detailed information, please find my CV attached, but in brief:
- I am one of the very limited numbers of Captains who, in addition to Unlimited Masters license STCW II/2, hold a commercial marine engineering license which is a great combination for running or building a large yacht.
- Experience with new builds both yachting (m/y Akim) and commercial (m/t British Harrier) and warranty periods (Bella Dawn and Ellix Too)
- Experience with overseeing large refit projects, monitoring time frame and cash flow – on Shandor we completed a 18 month refit in 14 months (in time for an Owner deadline) and managed a cashflow of up to Euro 700,000 per month
- I have over 20 years at sea (the last 11 as megayacht Captain), over 500,000 nautical miles logged worldwide
- I have an HND in both Marine Engineering and Nautical Science which are equivalent to a post graduate Degree level education as well as security training and good experience with ISM, including recently at full passenger ship level on m/y Rabdan
- Experience with safe helicopter operations
- High computer literacy including MS Project and interpreting engineering drawings
- Management experience of a crew of 36 plus large numbers of yard workers and sub contractors
- I have 12 years yachting (private and charter) experience in both the Mediterranean (East and West), the Caribbean and the Middle East
- I am actively looking to commit to an Owner for the rest of my career
- Great track record of repeat charter business and retaining crew!
- Large number of references from Owners, managers, charterers and (interestingly) from former crew members!
- English is obviously my native language, and I also speak Spanish, French, German and Dutch in varying degrees, but would undertake an intensive study of the language in question to ensure great communication if needed.
