Maritime Objective
To obtain a Captains position on one of the Elite Motor Yacht’s
in the Industry.
Brief Summary of Maritime Experience
Over 20 years in the maritime industry I have gained a wide range of
experience, both in commercial and private sectors.
As a Captain I have operated and managed commercial boating operations
in remote locations catering for exclusive guests. I have operated mega-yachts
in the USA, Caribbean, Mediterranean and South pacific waters. I have
supervised the building of new vessels to class certification, vessel
extensions and refitted vessels maintaining their class certification.
I obtained my first captains license when I was 20 years old. My family
owned and operated a Mechanical Garage and Marine repair business. I was
raised at the entrance to some of the roughest waters in Australia, Queenscliff,
a small fishing village located at the entrance to Bass Strait.
I enjoy my work and have always set my standards to the highest level
and expect no less from my crew. This has ensured the operation of the
most professional and safe vessels. I have assisted in many sea search
operations and vessels in distress.
Profile
As an experienced Captain operating in both the private and commercial
sector I am used to working within a dynamic and ever changing environment.
I have a full and varied knowledge of the maritime industry working in
various disciplines such as an electrical leading hand to the position
of Captain. I’m a confident Captain/team leader and decision-maker,
as you would expect from a competent and experienced Captain something
that both the crew and guests recognize which instills confidence and
