Aim
I am currently looking
to join the yachting
industry; since I was
19 my life has
revolved around the
ocean. I have been
working on tourism
boats for the last 4
years having also
accumulated 8,500nm
of blue water
experience. I would
hope to join a yacht as
a deckhand to learn
under an experienced
team that can lead me
forward to progress in
my career.
