PROFILE
French commercially endorsed deckhand and skipper with hands-on experience operating tenders and small motor yachts independently for day charters in the South of France. In addition to running vessels, I have worked within deck teams on larger yachts, supporting daily operations including mooring, anchoring, watchkeeping, maintenance, guest transfers etc.
My background combines professional seamanship with a strong foundation in safety and guest service. Trained as a lifeguard and coastal rescue swimmer, I bring a high level of situational awareness and confidence in emergency response. Prior experience in high-end hospitality as an VIP event coordinator and bar manager has further shaped my ability to deliver attentive, discreet, and detail-oriented service to an international clientele.
I approach every role with reliability, adaptability, and a calm, solution-oriented mindset, aiming to contribute positively to both the crew dynamic and the overall guest experience on board.
