My objective is to apply my diverse knowledge and 12 years experience as a professional mariner in order to find suitable Chief Officer role onboard superyachts. I will maintain confidentiality at all times, especially during contract negotiations. As a dedicated crew member, I am willing to commit myself to your vessel's intended voyage and the growth of the quality superyacht recruitment standards. I intend to grow my brand by learning from, and helping out the community while working with like-minded individuals. I have a natural interest in growing and maintaining Superyacht standards and am always willing to help others in their journey.

Superyacht CRM is a listing and directory app suitable for any business like booking, restaurants, place, events, jobs listings, classified ads, reservations, rental, hourly booking, experiences and more.
