Experienced Charter Captain Looking for 60'-90' Sailing Vessel

Good day,
I am currently first mate for a 40 meter sloop in the Med, but the owner is trying to sell the vessel. So I would like to move on and find a more permanent solid position. Preferably captain on a 75' SY, but if the right boat and destination is good I would happily fulfill a first mates role.

I have over 2000+ days sea-going experience as captain and first mate on a variety of sailing vessels. Working busy charters to delivering across oceans. I am currently doing my Master 200gt/ OOW 500gt.
I worked on several boats for a company called Tradewinds ranging from 52’ to 70’ catamarans. I did 64 weeks of charters for them.
I was trained by The Clipper Race and stood in as an extra delivery crew for the Clipper North Pacific race where we landed a second position.
I have worked old classics, ketches, schooners, sloops, cats.
I have been captain of a 94 ft SY catamaran this past year, with a 6 month yard period.
I am observant, personal, professional and discrete.
I grew up in a family who have hospitality and catering companies, I understand all aspects of that side of the sailing business and it comes naturally. Which helps when building an experience for your guests.

Please get in touch if you think I could help your vacancy.
Many thanks
Best
Oliver Horsford
