Certified, Experienced Sailor looking for permanent or seasonal position.

Hi There!

Over the last 7 years I've been working semi-professionally as a deckhand and skipper on deliveries, charters and in various races.

After spending majority of 2024 getting fully certified, I want to leave the Seattle area and take my yachting career to new places. I also have over 5 years of experience as a bartender, and have no issues helping out the interior with service.

Growing up in the Seattle area I've spent every summer primarily on the water, whether charting boats or racing them, and I'm looking for the opportunity to turn my passion into my career.

Ideal positions include skipper on yachts <20M or deckhand/officer on yachts >20m.

List of certifications below.
- ASA 101-106, 114, and 118
- STCW Current
-FCC Radio Operator License
- USCG Medical Current
