To whom it may concern
After several years working on different types of boats, recently i took Master of Yachts 200 GT. Limited (IYT, C/E). Certification that allows me to work on board as:
-Master of 200 tons vessels up to 150 NM offshore.
-Chief mate of 500 tons vessels up to 150 NM offshore.
-Chief mate of 200 tons vessels all oceans.
-OOW 200 tons vessels all oceans.
My short-term goal is to find a vessel where i can stay working for an extended period of time and find the longevity that my last seasonal positions could not offer me.
My long-term goal, is too keep learning, and progressing in every possible way, in skills, certifications, technical, management and leadership .
I am very technically minded that is why i took AEC and i plan to keep progressing in technical qualifications.
Another useful skill i can bring on board is that i am getting into professional photography and video editing to provide one more service to the guests (I have my own gear).
As my references are impeccable, please feel free to contact any of my previous employers.
