Experienced and safety-driven Yacht Captain & Master Mariner (Unlimited) with over decade of command experience in high - speed passenger vessels and private luxury yachts. A proven leader with a strong record in safe navigation, crew management, and full compliance with international maritime regulations. From 2015 to 2019, I served as a High-Speed Craft Captain, commanding fast passenger ferries on scheduled routes. This role strengthened my expertise in high-speed ship handling, precise maneuvering, emergency response, safety drills, and strict adherence to company Safety Management Systems and maritime regulations. From 2019 to July 2025, I served as a Yacht Captain at Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, managing luxury yacht operations to the highest standards of safety, hospitality, and professionalism. My responsibilities included voyage planning, guest experience management, crew supervision, and coordination of maintenance and compliance to ensure seamless operations for VIP and resort clientele. Since August 2025, I have been serving as the Captain of a 45.5-meter (148 ft), 485 GT private yacht based in Doha, operating within GCC waters. I bring strong leadership, operational discipline, and a hands-on approach to vessel management, with a consistent focus on safety, reliability, and operational excellence. I remain committed to delivering the highest standards of professionalism and safety in my role, while continuously developing my leadership skills, technical expertise, and experience within the maritime industry.
