Got my RYA competent crew. Currently doing RYA day skipper theory. I will be doing RYA powerboat 2 / ICC later in 2025, and I will be doing RYA day skipper in 2026
I'm mainly looking for experience and miles in the UK or possibly in Europe. I'm not retired but I run my own business so I can consider offers at short notice, but can't be away from the business more than a week or so
I'm looking for easy going skippers generous with their time and knowledge, and I'm looking for memorable times on board a well run, safe boat. Please contact me if I can help you out
