Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Older mature captain; took a sabbatical from the yachting industry to work at home while the kids where young. Have approx. 150,000nm as both a commercial and yacht captain. Started as an unlimited ships engineer with an M.Eng in ships however found that I liked the wheelhouse as much as I liked the engine room.

Would like to find a family yacht that is based in one or two ports as I would be interested in relocating to where the yacht is. I also have a crew that would be willing to move from their respective yachts to work for me again.

I'm easy going however know the work and job and run a tight ship. I've worked for some of the richest families and well run yachts in the industry and enjoyed it immensely. If your actually interested in a good solid working captain and not a TV show type captain then let me know. I'm the first up and last to sleep, I dive the boat and I'm not scared of grease on my hands.

A little about myself, my interests and my plans

So unlike most that are using this site I'm not looking for adventure as I've been in the yachting industry for decades. I love the ocean, yachts and boating in general and love what I do. I'm well travelled, well educated and grounded which suits this industry and work.
