Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Dear Shipmates , I am actively Captains position aboard a ( 70-150ft ) motoryacht. I have a vast amount of experience on the water with a personal passion for Sportfishing, however I am equally comfortable running a sportfishing vessel or organising an elite cocktail party aboard a large M/Y, and all levels of service in between.
After 25 years on the water I still have the same enthusiasm for the industry as the day I started and my dream is to be able to share that passion with an owner who is looking for a dedicated hardworking professional.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

I grew up with a love of water sports in Australia from and early age, over time my passion for sportfishing overtook all my other interests and I consider myself fortunate that I have been able to combine this passion with a career which has taken me around the world to many exotic locations in search of a wide range of species.While travelling the world sportfishing I have worked aboard many different vessels from 180ft luxury motoryachts to 40ft dedicated sportfishers, all with different levels of sevice but with the same objective, a passion for the sport and the prospects of visiting exciting new locations to enjoy the countries and cultures.
Today my passion for the sportfishing and Motoryachts has me doing less personal fishing but my enjoyment now is to share knowlege and being able to contribute to the enjoyment of owners and guests alike, simply being able to see the smile on a persons face as they capture their first big fish! or to be able to witness a beautiful sunset in a secluded anchorage at the end a perfect day!
My plan today is to locate an owner who is looking for a dedicated hard working professional, that will allow me to continue fullfilling my passion aboard an active vessel, for the enjoyment of friends and family.

My formal qualifications are as follows -
Master of Yachts 200t Unlimited (Yachtmaster Unlimited)
A.M.S.A (Australian Maritime Safety Authority) endorsed Master Class IV
Australian Marine Engine Driver Grade 3
GMDSS
Advanced Firefighting
STCW 95
Wilderness and Offshore Medicine certified
C.P.R and AED
PADI Rescue Diver - 1997
Qualified Chef - 1984
