About
Hello, my name is Joaquin Gutierrez, and with a background in serving high-profile clients and a passion for maritime activities, I am confident that my skills and experience align well with the requirements of this role.
Currently stationed in Mexico City, available within a week. I recently concluded a role as a deckhand aboard the 75 ft MY Baltra, a new vessel we picked up in Los Angeles. During our two-month stay in San Diego, I was the sole deckhand, responsible for equipping the vessel, managing third-party services, and conducting test trials. This period required me to quickly adapt and handle various tasks due to the minimal crew—just the captain and myself—while attending daily charters.
I took part in delivery from San Diego to La Paz, a journey of one week, and then spent four months stationed in La Paz, where we conducted weekly five-day charters. During this time, I earned the unofficial "first mate" designation from the captain due to my trustworthiness, dedication, and professionalism. The crew in La Paz included the captain, a chef, and two deckhands, and I was recognized for my commitment to the role and my ability to support and enhance team performance.
I am proficient in a range of water activities and committed to physical well-being. My holistic approach to personal and professional growth, coupled with strong communication skills and a positive attitude, equips me to excel in the dynamic environment of yacht operations.
In previous roles in Baja California Sur, I demonstrated excellence in customer service, problem-solving, and organizational efficiency. My attention to detail and organizational skills have been pivotal in creating luxurious and memorable experiences for guests.
