Looking for a Captain or 1st Mate position
Hi - I've just joined Crewbay. I'm interested in finding a position as a Captain or 1st Mate. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people!
As a retired Sri Lankan naval officer with 21 years of service and more than 9 years of active sea duty on ships and craft, I bring exceptional expertise and resilience to the Captain position. My extensive naval background has instilled in me the ability to handle high-pressure situations with composure and to manage operations efficiently, both onshore and offshore. The sea has been my second home, where I have led diverse teams, navigated complex routes, and ensured safety in all conditions.
I take immense pride in my leadership capabilities, discipline, and dedication. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills as a trainer, administrator, and human resource manager, developing and inspiring others to perform at their best. My hands-on approach, combined with strategic insight, ensures I am always ready to tackle challenges, whether leading a crew, maintaining vessel compliance, or managing emergencies.
The opportunity to serve as Captain on a motor yacht is exciting because it allows me to apply my naval experience in the private maritime sector. It provides a platform to further enhance my knowledge of the yachting industry, develop new skills, and face challenges unique to luxury yacht operations. With extensive exposure to navigation, safety protocols, and engineering systems, I am confident in my ability to run efficient, safe, and memorable voyages.
I am highly capable of taking on any task, whether it involves complex navigation, crew coordination, or ensuring the ultimate guest experience. My goal is always to exceed expectations and deliver the best possible outcome in every endeavor. I remain motivated by continuous improvement, eager to adapt, and always strive to elevate the standards of my operations.
With over 8 years of experience handling high-speed boats 24M - 27M (40-50 knots), I bring a precise, confident approach to vessel maneuvering and safety management. This, combined with my proficiency in GMDSS and VHF operations, engine handling, and winch operations, equips me to perform at the highest level.
Moreover, I am passionate about travel, photography, and water sports, aligning perfectly with the adventurous lifestyle of the yachting industry. I believe that this role will allow me to blend my passions with professional responsibilities, ensuring both my crew and guests have rewarding and safe experiences.
I am fully vaccinated with the fourth dose of COVID-19, ensuring that I can contribute to safe and responsible global operations. I look forward to embracing the challenges and rewards of the Captain position, confident that my background, skills, and passion will positively impact the yacht's operations and strategic goals
