years of professional experience
I’m looking to start my career in the marine industry and gain hands-on experience working on boats locally, with the goal of eventually working overseas in the superyacht industry. I’ve recently completed my STCW Basic Safety Training, hold my marine licence, and have grown up on the water with my family having a pontoon boat and jetskis. I’m also booked to complete my Powerboat Level 2 course next month.
I have experience as a swim instructor and nearly 10 years as a hairdresser, giving me excellent communication, customer service and people skills.
I’m open to opportunities as a deckhand, stewardess or onboard hairdresser, and I’m keen to learn, develop new skills and get my foot in the door. Although I’m new to working professionally on boats, I’m hardworking, adaptable, safety-conscious and willing to take on new challenges. I’d love the opportunity to gain experience, contribute to a team and build a strong foundation for a future career in the marine industry.
