Looking for a Deckhand position

This Season was daywork in Palma before flying into Split to join my family who own a Lagoon 400 S2 Catamaran. I took us from Trogir where boat is moored in Marina Baotic around the islands of Brac, Solta, Vis, Hvar, Korcula and the Pakleni islands docking us in various marinas or tying us stern to on the rocks at anchor. Handled the lazy lines and anchor as well as navigating in around the islands.

Networking last season led to a three-month contract as a sole deckhand under a great captain, where I managed vessel maintenance, water toys, refuelling, and daily onboard duties, building strong all-round skills and responsibility.

My goal is to become a chase boat driver, use my jet ski instructor qualifications, and eventually progress to captain. I’m committed to growing within the industry long-term.

I’ve always loved being on the water—driving tenders, surfing, and spending time at sea—and also have drone experience for photo and video work, along with a background in DJing.

Currently working toward my Yachtmaster and Divemaster certifications and excited for my next opportunity.
