Looking for a Deckhand position
I am writing to express my interest in a Deckhand position for the upcoming yacht season. With practical deckhand exposure and eight years of experience in high-end hospitality combined with maritime certifications, I am eager to bring a strong work ethic, guest service excellence, and a positive team attitude to a professional yacht crew.
Most recently, I worked as a Deckhand aboard the private vessel Mermaid IV in Port Grimaud, where I gained hands-on experience assisting with deck operations, maintaining exterior standards, and supporting daily vessel routines. This confirmed my desire to pursue a long-term career in yachting.
As you will see from my CV, I hold a valid ENG1 medical (until October 2027), RYA Powerboat Level 2, and I am scheduled to complete my STCW Basic Safety Training on April 24th 2026. This ensures I’ll be yacht-ready from 25th April 2026, right when the season is getting into full swing. I am physically fit, adaptable, and always willing to go beyond my job description to support the team.
Based in Palma and available for the season (and hopefully longer), I am highly motivated to secure a deckhand position where I can contribute immediately while continuing to grow within the industry. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and attitude would make me a valuable addition to your crew.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Niall Murphy
