Looking for a Captain, 1st Mate, Bosun or Racing position

I am a passionate professional sailor with strong communication skills and a solid work ethic.

I have worked, raced and cruised on yachts professionally for over 8 years. I began my career in Australia on racing and cruising yachts then progressed onto super yachts in the Mediterranean and Worldwide.

I have a strong technical background with experience managing and maintaining all aspects of a vessel, my professional aim is to uphold the highest standards of safety, functionality and aesthetics. I am well presented, personable and a strong communicator who can build good relationships with any kind of person regardless of age or background. 

I am looking for couples positions with partner Paige. We have recently completed a busy season as captain and chef on a 23m sailing yacht in the Mediterranean. This vessel was a very high standard charter vessel and required an incredible work ethic, people skills and wonderful cooking and organisation on Paiges side. We have references from our very happy charter guests and Paige has many pictures of her culinary talent available.


Career highlights to date: Sydney - Hobart 2017 2nd place Corinthian division, Cape of Good Hope rounding, Bay of Biscay in winter and 2x Atlantic crossings.
