About

Just finished as Captain on 40.5m yacht. Now looking for a quality yacht, with sensible budget wanting an experienced Captain who can do the job and hold onto good crew. Master 3,000GT with all STCW updates done. 30 years’ professional experience and excellent engineering knowledge, which has helped me through successful new builds, rebuilds and plenty of refits. With longevity in every Captain’s position. I keep high standards and a happy crew.
