Aloha!
I'm looking for cruising opportunities around the world preferably in the South Pacific, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Africa or Indonesia @ April/May 2025.
My work experience includes being a dive boat captain and crew member on multiple vessels over the last twenty five years. I'm an avid, water sports enthusiast (sailor, diver, kiter, surfer, wing foiler). I have a USCG Masters License 100 Ton w/ sailing endorsement and am a PADI Scuba Instructor.
My recent cruising experience includes helping sail a 65' ketch from Hawaii to the Marquesas, through French Polynesia and down to American Samoa over three and a half months. I also crewed on a 52’ catamaran from Fremantle to Darwin for over a month. I generally spend my summers working as crew/captain on dive/snorkel boats in Maui, HI. Please let me know if I might be a welcome addition onboard your vessel.
Mahalo,
Gaen

I'm used to working on boats in the customer service industry. Keeping the boat well maintained and safe makes for the most enjoyable cruising. I'm easy going with a "can do" positive attitude. Living the dream is all about exploration, adventure and of course, the journey!

I want to sail to new, tropical islands and explore far away atolls only accessible by boat. I love island cultures and have a passion for water sports and underwater photography in uncrowded areas.
