An experienced Yachtmaster qualified available for Skipper, Captain, Deckhand or a Mate position.
I hold Yacht-Master (500 grt) and able seaman certificates. I am available for temporary, permament, daily or weekly positions as a skipper, captian, deckhand or a mate utilizing my painting varnishing, electrical and mechanical background. I have got over 5 years of experience and have acquired over 10,000 NM of sea-miles. I have various prior experience as a skipper and deckhand positions with sailing around the vast Turkish Coast, Nice/France, with along the vast coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean and the Red Sea. I excel in various boat and yacht types, namely motor yacht, catamaran, both commercial fleets and private vessels.
I have been in the yachting industry since 1994 starting on my family owned Motorsailer Charter boat, MIZANA, and some times I did short way flotilla boat deliveries. I have been operating a marine hardware store since 2007. This strengthens my vast knowledge and expertise in areas of marine sail, skillset in compliance, safety management, risk-awareness sea-staff management, vessel manitenance including the administration and reporting. I am well versed with the ultimate responsiblity a skipper is entitled to undertake for the safety of vessel and the crew and as such, carrying a duty of care to all onboard. As a primary role of a skipper I am highly aware that each time I embark on a sail, about the risks involved in all activities during a voyage, both ashore and at sea and ensure sufficient measures are taken to avoid unacceptable risks. This does not entail to me a mere duty as a skipper/captain, deckhand, Mate, any position I am hired for. This extends beyond that. My duty of care extends beyond emotional and physical well-being of the sea staff, crew members and those onboard. The added advantage I can demonstrate is delivering the best possible adventure for the crew by designing the voyage and provide a spectacular sailing experience to the guests.
