Available for worldwide passage making and yacht deliveries.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am an experienced, safety-first skipper and crew member ready to support your next passage, delivery, or charter. Whether you need a confident skipper to lead the way or an extra pair of hands to assist, I bring practical seamanship, clear communication, and a focus on vessel care.
I am comfortable operating as a solo delivery skipper, managing a crew, or sailing alongside owners to help build their confidence on new vessels.

Work opportunities of interest:
- Sailing yacht deliveries (fully capable of sourcing reliable crew if required)
- Passage making (either assisted sailing with owners or independent deliveries)
- Charter work (keen to take on skippered charter opportunities)
- Worldwide travel (fully flexible on locations)

Rates & charges (All negotiable):
- At Sea: Average day rate based on the specific vessel and transit type
- Ashore/Travel: day rate for travel days and shoreside prep
- Expenses: All food, non-alcoholic drinks, and vessel-related fees covered at cost

What values I bring to your vessel:
- Expertise: Deep appreciation for best practice, navigation technology, and weather planning.
- Directness & Integrity: I believe in clear communication and honest, transparent briefing—especially if things go wrong.
- Resourcefulness: Practical problem-solving skills to manage mechanical issues or shifting conditions at sea.
- Adventure: Enthusiastic, positive attitude with a lifelong love for being out on the water.

Personal Interests:
When I am not sailing, I enjoy horse riding, property development and renovations, and entrepreneurship. My long-term goal is to take my family on a year-long sailing sabbatical.

If you think I would be a good fit for your vessel or upcoming passage, please get in touch to discuss details!
