About
Dear Madam/Sir,
Please find my attached CV for your perusal, for the position of Deckhand.
Qualified deckhand with film industry experience, I'm eager to bring my skills in customer service, teamwork, and adaptability to the superyacht sector. Passionate about water activities, I hold Day Skipper, PADI Open Water qualifications and more, seeking growth opportunities through courses like Yachtmaster Power Offshore, PWC Instructors, AEC1 & AEC2.
I have been working on the 24m MY Night Fury for the Mediterranean season 2024, which has been a great experience, allowing me to enhance and refine my skills in deckhand duties (teak detailing and painting/varnishing, stainless polishing and washdowns, docking procedures), as well as in engineering, carpentry, electrical work, and plumbing.
My film industry experience as a unit manager equipped me with logistics, equipment, and vehicle management skills.
With a Dutch father and Lake Geneva inspiring my love for sailing and yachting, I embrace diverse cultures and activities globally, including swimming, diving, and jet skiing.
Known for my easy-going personality, I thrive as a team player or leader. Highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented, I'm dedicated to integrating my maritime training and background experience for professional growth.
Thank you for considering my application. I'm available for an interview at your earliest convenience.
Looking forward to the opportunity of joining your team as a deckhand.
Kind regards,
Sonia Hoogenstraaten.
