Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Good day: We are a couple offering crew services as a team; my wife Karen is an excellent chef/cook, and very capable watch stander, stew, diver and small boat handler. She has assisted me with repairs and preventive maintenance work on power, propulsion, breathing air compressors and other ships systems and is capable of performing well under pressure. We recently finished a 2 year position as a captain/crew of a private motor yacht in the BVI's, Bahamas, T&C area primarily cruising and leading dive trips. Interested in fill in positions, re-positioning cruises, deliveries, etc. of short duration to keep wet! Living/working from home in Ft. Lauderdale, able to travel w/ US Passport. Divemaster, engineer, watch standing, navigation and other duties as assigned. Energetic, fit, non-smoking public safety professional looking to increase my adventure component. Recently completed all testing for USCG OUPV and am working on sea time docs for submission; goals are to upgrade to 100 ton masters later this year.

Looking forward to new adventures, meeting new people, learning new boats and functions to fill your short, intermediate and perhaps long term term crew staffing needs. Husband and wife team the will add humor and a diverse and deep skill set to your operational capabilities, ensure your guests and vessels safety, and create memorable and enjoyable experiences for crew and guests alike. We look forward to learning what your specific needs are, and demonstrating how we can exceed your expectations!

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

To be at sea, even if for a short stretch; enjoy new challenges, learn from more experienced crew, and deliver exceptional service with a smile. Would prefer to crew as a team with my wife Karen (see above) as our skill sets are complimentary and we enjoy working together. Interested in relief crew and repositioning opportunities as well.
