With over ten years in the yachting industry, I have been sailing since my early age, first in family
and as captain since 2018, Based for several years in the south of France , I have a passion for
navigation in the Mediterranean, There are so many beautiful stopovers and anchorages that I love
to attend. It is with the same passion that I take charge of a ship with self-reliance, a collaborative
spirit, and a constant focus on my passengers’ well-being.

I am an enthusiastic and quick-learning South African with a passion for the yachting industry, seeking to further develop my expertise. Over the past two seasons, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, including deck chef, crew cook, steward, and deckhand. I am particularly interested in pursuing a position as a chef/cook or deckhand.

My background combines creativity and practicality, enabling me to thrive in high-pressure, fast-paced environments that often require long hours. I spent nearly two years working in a professional kitchen in Germany, where I catered to events with up to 350 guests. This experience honed my skills in teamwork, reliability, efficiency,
and responsibility.I excel in managing social interactions with guests, supported by a positive attitude and strong problem-solving capabilities.
