Professional Summary

I’m a South African with a decade of experience in fitness, personal training, operations, and team management. I started my career coaching clients and running group classes before moving into senior roles overseeing teams, facilities, and daily operations.

After ten years, I reached a ceiling on land and chose yachting for its physical work, outdoor environment, travel, and teamwork. I’m practical and hands-on, confident figuring things out, and comfortable taking on basic maintenance tasks.

I hold STCW, RYA Powerboat Level 2, and a valid SAMSA Medical. I’ve gained light daywork exposure on sailing catamarans and a small powerboat in Cape Town, assisting with simple deck duties, vessel prep, and guest support. I also completed a basic diving familiarization during a PADI practical. Recently, I also gained experience in a 2 week shipyard period, where I assisted captain with vessel relocation from port to shipyard and back, handling lines and fenders during departure and docking, and upon return.

I live an active lifestyle - mountain biking, gym, padel, golf, squash, and tennis - which keeps me fit for deck work and guest activities. Available immediately with a Schengen visa, and motivated to get my foot in the door and grow within the industry.
