Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I’m a USCG Master Captain with over 20 years of maritime experience and more than 500 successful five-star-rated charters completed throughout Florida and the Bahamas. I’ve operated, delivered, and managed a wide range of vessels up to 95 feet, including tenders over 50 feet.
My background combines strong technical knowledge, hands-on maintenance, and high-end guest service in both private and charter programs. I hold all required certifications (STCW, ENG1, Towing Endorsement), and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish.
Based in Palm Beach, I am available for full-time, freelance, or relief roles. I’m detail-oriented, discreet, organized, and committed to vessel care, safety, and maintaining a clean, positive onboard culture. Visual examples of my work and operations can be provided privately upon request.

committeddiscreeteasy-goingenthusiasticfriendlyorganisedrespectfulskilledtrustworthygood listenergood communicatorno body piercingsno facial piercingsno tattoos at alleager to learn & workpoliteperfectionistpositive outlookopen mindedsense of humorcan pay own expensesready to partyenjoy cookingcan follow ordersenjoy teaching

My goal is to join a program where I can add value, grow with a dedicated team, and maintain a high standard of vessel presentation and performance. I take pride in keeping yachts in top condition, anticipating owner and guest needs, and supporting smooth, stress-free operations.
I’m not looking for sea time I’m looking for quality, consistency, and a great environment where my skills and professionalism are appreciated. I’m comfortable leading, teaching, or simply supporting wherever needed. Open to live-aboard or land-based roles.

My motivation and reasons to crew on a boat

earn moneygain experience

What motivates me most is the satisfaction of being part of a well-run, high-standard yacht operation. I enjoy the structure, attention to detail, and pride that come with maintaining a vessel in excellent condition, whether it’s being actively used or prepared for standby.

After years in the industry, I’ve come to value stability, mutual respect among crew, and clear expectations. I thrive in environments where professionalism, order, and discretion are expected and where every detail, from deck appearance to guest readiness, matters.

I’m interested in positions where the focus is on quality over quantity whether that’s through day-to-day maintenance, supporting long-term programs, or stepping in as reliable support when needed. I'm not looking for endless travel or rotation, but for a team and vessel I can stand behind with pride.
