Please allow me to introduce myself; I am an experienced maritime professional currently engaged on motor yacht Ellix Too. It is my good fortune to be working for the same people for the third time.

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.
