Looking for a Deckhand or Fitness Trainer position

Hi there, I hope you are well.

I hope you are having a great week.

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Deckhand position. I am currently based in Antibes, available to start immediately, and hold a valid Schengen visa. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker with no tattoos, and I have recently completed my Yacht Rating, Small Powerboat and RIB Master courses alongside several successful daywork stints on vessels ranging from 30m to 77m.

Growing up with a passion for watersports like wakeboarding and surfing, being active and outdoors is where I thrive. This energy translates directly into my work ethic; my recent experience with the White Desert build team in Antarctica involved 16-hour days of carpentry, insulation, and flooring in sub-zero temperatures. Prior to that, I balanced four years of semi-professional rugby with an Honours degree in Sports Physiology. These environments taught me the value of discipline, showing up consistently, and operating at a high level without excuses.

As a certified Personal Trainer with experience coaching diverse groups, including children with disabilities, I pride myself on being a versatile crew member who adapts quickly to the needs of both guests and the team. I was also very interested to read about your focus on maritime mental health; with my background in physiology and psychology, I share your commitment to professional well-being within the industry.

I will work harder than anyone else to prove my worth on board. I want to excel in this industry, produce nothing but the highest quality of work, and create an unbelievable guest experience. I just kindly ask that you give me the chance to prove myself.

CV attached. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Warm regards,
Haydn Kemp 27 84 355 6134 (WhatsApp)
