Experienced yachtmaster (sail & power) + kitesurfing/SCUBA instructor
After 10 years working on the water as a captain and instructor, I’ve built a solid skill set and the ability to adapt to a wide range of challenges.
I started out delivering sailing yachts for PYD, then worked as a charter skipper and mate on a catamaran in the U.S. and Caribbean. Wanting to expand my skills, I turned my hobbies into professional qualifications, becoming a kitesurfing and scuba instructor. That led to an incredible role as Captain/Instructor on Sir Richard Branson’s private island, where I spent three years working with him, his family, and guests. Most recently, I’ve been teaching watersports at a private members’ club in the Bahamas.
I’m now looking for my next opportunity—ideally as Mate on a larger sailing yacht or as Skipper on something under 70 feet. I want to keep learning, take on new challenges, and bring my experience to the right team.
If you’re looking for someone with my background, I’d love to connect. Let me know if you’d like more details or to set up a video call.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Sam
