Provide Services Details Captain, First Mate - Power or Sailing Yachts

About From a young age, power boating and sailing has been an integral part of my life. I currently work as Co-Captain with “Sea Level Solutions” with Russ Salzman in Chicago and South Florida. I have decades of experience and thousands of hours of experience handling powerboats and racing sailboats globally. I have honed my skills and knowledge through years of dedicated practice and have obtained my USCG Master 100 GRT Captain’s License including Auxiliary Sail Endorsement. Having completed numerous offshore passages, I am confident in my ability to navigate various weather conditions and ensure the safety of all onboard.

As Captain, I recognize the importance of effective communication, teamwork, and maintaining a positive working environment. I have had the privilege of leading and collaborating with diverse teams on private power boats and racing sail boats globally. These experiences have taught me the value of fostering strong relationships and promoting open dialogue, allowing for efficient and harmonious operations.

I possess a comprehensive understanding of vessel operations, routine maintenance, and safety protocols. From routine inspections to overseeing repairs, I am meticulous in my attention to detail and adhere strictly to industry standards and regulations. My knowledge of maritime laws and best practices enables me to anticipate and mitigate potential risks, ensuring compliance and the well-being of the vessel, crew, and passengers.

In addition to my technical skills, I am adept at providing exceptional customer service to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience for all guests. I have a friendly and approachable demeanor, allowing me to establish rapport easily and address any concerns promptly and professionally. By anticipating guests' needs and going above and beyond to exceed their expectations, I have consistently received positive feedback and fostered strong client relationships.

I am eager to contribute my expertise and passion to your yacht and join a team that shares my commitment to excellence. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills align with your needs in more detail. My wife is also a USCG Licensed Captain and would make a great first mate, navigator. We are availabe as a team. I/we look forward to the possibility of joining your crew and embarking on new maritime adventures.
