Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello! I'm an experienced sailor looking for a crew spot for multi-week cost-sharing or work trade cruising. Looking for a starting place in the Caribbean , South America or Pacific, depending on what I find for sailing and diving opportunities. I have been sailing my whole life, with experience on cruisers, racing boats, and dinghies, adept sail trimmer and can skipper, keep night watch, and navigate. PADI divemaster and am first aid and CPR certified. I have my own dive equipment. Also a good cook! I love being on the water, sailing fast, and having fun. I prefer to be on board with captain and at least one additional crew, at least at first. Along the way if I stay for an extended time, there may be moments I ask to bring a friend aboard for a few days here and there, as I've been overseas in Asia and Europe for a long time and being much closer to the USA in the Caribbean I might have a few folks who want to come visit. I am a sailing instructor as well and enjoy teaching newbies the ropes.

I love to sail. I can't think of a better way to see the world than by exploring over sea.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

have a holidayshare experienceshare charter costsvisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamcareer changetravel

After over a decade of working for the same company, I left my job and the San Francisco area and traveled all of 2023. In 2024 so far, I have been worked in Roatan, Honduras as a divemaster. I'm testing out a new lifestyle of working freelance, traveling, and finding diving gigs. Aiming to spend as much time in and around the water as I can. Let me know if you are interested in chatting about sailing together!
