I am a qualified Coxswain, Sailing instructor, surfing instructor, diver(open water, rescue and advanced) and teacher wanting to take on any role. I am a non smoker, social drinker, fit and healthy. I have worked as a teacher for 28 years the last 23 of which have been as an administrator in schools.
I have also been fortunate to have worked in a sailing school and delivered a lot of maritime training. I have also been registered in Queensland Australia to issue Boat and Jet Ski licences to the general public. I have some engineering knowledge and am generally able to fix most things that go wrong on boats. I have just returned from skippering a 50 foot Bavaria yacht around the Phillipines and Malaysia for 6 weeks as well as an Amel 54 around Vanuatu. I have also taken a sea wind catamaran down the Queensland coast recently. Most recently in 2022 I have skippered a beautiful Outremer 60ft 5x up the Qld Coast for a number of months with a variety of different crew. I am currently the skipper of a 111 person passenger ferry in Noosa.

I am currently living in Noosa and looking to do some sailing in this vicinity or further afield with my available time. I am open to all suggestions. I am very open to an extended paid role aboard any vessel or other arrangement by negotiation. I have done lengthy periods on a variety of boat as both crew and skipper with passengers aboard. I generally like to go to new places and see new things. It is time to go out and see and do new things and I am available individually or with enough notice as a team. I am a qualified Coxswain, Sailing instructor, diver(open water, rescue and advanced) and teacher wanting to take on a new adventure. I have done a lot of sea and white water kayaking and like to surf. I also have been spearfishing since I was 20. I also have a background and qualifications in Health and Safety so like to make sure that everyone is looked out for on board. I am a non smoker, fit and healthy. I have good engineering knowledge and am generally able to fix most things that go wrong on boats. I have done previous passages in boats both with owners and without and would be happy to put you in contact with them to see what I am like.
I enjoy all aspects of being on the water and exploring new places and meeting new people. I like to ensure that things are always positive on board and that solutions are found for any challenges that may be thrown our way. I would consider any offer in any location.
