Summary
Besides my love for the ocean I bring a wide variety of experience. From sailing in Sydney harbour for over 4 seasons to running overnight charters in the whitsundays on Maxi yachts and doing deliveries on the pacific and in Europe I have had the opportunity to learn in many different oceans and steer a large number of different vessels in various conditions. My biggest strength are my sailing and berthing skills as well as teamwork with the crew and interpersonal skills with guests.
