Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Seeking a Captain or Captain/Engineer position on a 80-130 foot Motor Yacht. I am a USCG 500 ton Master with towing endorsement with experience on Motor Yachts to 170’, dive boats and crew boats.

I am also A NAUI Technical SCUBA instructor with over 5,000 dives, and a former U.S. Marine with meticulous attention to detail and security. STCW-95 certified, non-smoker, in excellent health. Single and can travel internationally at a moment’s notice.

My background in the hospitality industry gives me the unique ability to oversee all of the various aspects of running what is essentially a floating 5 star hotel. We are in the pleasure boating business, with the emphasis on PLEASURE!

Seeking a Captain’s position on a 80' to 130' yacht. I have a 500 ton Master’s license with experience on yachts to 170’, dive boats, crew boats, tow boats and salvage vessels.

I am also A NAUI Technical SCUBA instructor with over 5,000 dives, and a former U.S. Marine with meticulous attention to detail.

Available for day work, charters, manage a local boat for out of town owner, etc. Single and can travel at a moments notice. People skills and team player attitude are exemplary.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

visit remote placesseek adventureface challengesearn moneytravel

My background in the hospitality industry gives me the unique ability to oversee all of the various aspects of running what is essentially a floating 5 star hotel. We are in the pleasure boating business, with the emphasis on PLEASURE!

As I consider myself a very “hands-on” Captain, I prefer vessels with 6 or less permanent crew. I feel this allows us to be a closer, more cohesive unit and for all of us to be cross-trained in the various aspects of making sure our guests have the absolute best experience we can provide each and every time we embark. Obviously there are times when additional crew may be needed for heavy charter or owner trips.

Additionally, my experience with Detroit, Caterpillar, and Cummins diesels allows me to step in as Engineer, or to back up an existing Engineer as needed. I am also very comfortable with electrical and plumbing systems on both American and Italian built yachts with some experience on Asian built vessels as well.
