Deckhand-Mate with Carpentry and Sportfishing experience, looking for a new position ideally with my Spa Stew fiance

Hi there,

We are looking for a couple’s position as Deckhand and Stewardess aboard a vessel. Together, Sian and I bring a well-balanced, experienced skill set, a strong work ethic, and a shared passion for life at sea.

I am a dedicated and versatile Deckhand with over two years of hands-on experience in the yachting industry, including extensive sportfishing charters, transatlantic crossings, and both motor and sail vessel deliveries. My recent role as First Mate onboard a sportfishing motor catamaran allowed me to take on high levels of responsibility, from leading guest fishing excursions to overseeing tender operations, deck upkeep, and engine room maintenance. With over 30,000 nautical miles logged - across varied sea conditions and operational demands - I bring solid seamanship and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset to my next position.

My background prior to yachting includes a diploma in Motor Mechanics and running a successful carpentry business, both of which continue to enhance my onboard capabilities. I’m confident working across a lot of engineering tasks, mechanical troubleshooting, and carpentry projects - skills that often prove invaluable on busy itineraries.

I’m safety-conscious, technically skilled, and eager to contribute wherever needed. I take pride in being a reliable, positive team player who supports the smooth and professional running of the vessel, both in guest-facing and operational settings.

Currently, I’m furthering my qualifications by completing the IYT Yachtmaster 200gt Limited, I have completed the Theory and the practical is booked for 1 - 6 September 2025. I’m now seeking a new challenge where I can bring my strong work ethic, technical knowledge, and enthusiasm for life at sea to a dynamic and hardworking crew

Sian has just under two years of experience on busy charter yachts, working across both the Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons. She has a meticulous approach to spa management, organization, and inventory, and offers a variety of spa treatments to help ensure every guest feels cared for. She's highly competent across all areas of the interior—from housekeeping and laundry to different meal service styles and cocktail preparation.

We’re currently seeking a couple’s position where we can combine our complementary skill sets and work ethic. We’ve been together for several years and work seamlessly as a team—communicating naturally, supporting each other, and always aiming to contribute positively to the crew dynamic.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. We’d love the opportunity to bring our energy and professionalism to a team.
