Experience, miles, qualifications? You've already seen them all and they are the same. I invite you to look here...

I'm interested in finding a position as a Captain or engineer. I look forward to meeting new people and having new experiences while exploring different countries and cultures. My background is as an Aeronautical Engineer. Many of the build skills I learned are relevant to Yachts. I have sailed all my life, and owned my first boat at the age of 10. I became the youngest dinghy sailing instructor in Northern Ireland at the time I was 16. I gained my MCA/RYA Yachtmaster in 2004 and Cruising Instructor in 2007. Through this, and many other watersports instructor qualifications I have had the pleasure of teaching and showing many people new things.

After working in Aerospace manufacture from 2000, I decided in 2003 to go professional with yachting. I like to keep working different jobs as you will see on my CV.

Now, that is pretty much what everyone else says.

My ambition is to give my best, not before or after, but at the same time as I achieve my best. I want your goal as a yacht owner/manager to rest assured that your yacht is in the best hands at all times.

For me yachting is not about the size of the yacht, the privileged location or brightwork that sparkles, It's about the owners and their guests. It's about the adventure, and it's about the crew. I want you, as an owner to have the best experience that your yacht and its crew is capable of giving you. I want you to be proud pulling into a harbour, or if you prefer, remain discrete in a protected anchorage, while you explore all that the destination has to offer. I will strive for you to trust me, and vice versa.

If yachting for you is only all about silver service, maybe another captain is your choice, and that's commendable. If yachting is about exploring, great service and food, mutual respect, safety and adventure, and above all FUN, then, you may want to read further.
