Dedicated, hard working, honest RYA YM Ocean commercially endorsed skipper, +30,000NM, looking for deserving position.

I have been delivering a diverse portfolio of sail boats, ranging from 30ft to 70ft mono and multihulls, throughout the length and breadth of the UK and Europe for the past 3 years and 30,000NM. During this time I also provided clients with private tuition and have taken their family and friends on charters around the coasts of Norway, Sweden and down to the Mediterranean. Clients references available upon request.

Previous to becoming a professional skipper, I spent 17 years as a Composite Specialist and Rope Access technician in the Renewables Industry. I am also a passionate surfer, freediver, ocean lover and musician.

I am a fit 45 years old with a positive attitude that only gets worse with age. I work hard, I’m proactive, patient, a problem solver and I love a challenge. I’m handy with tools and am a very good cook.
