Professional Yachtmaster Services | ||
I am a Dutch/Norwegian Professional Yachtmaster working on a freelance basis and certified as captain of private and commercial motor yachts and small commercial vessels up to 200 tons or as mate up to 500 tons. I also have my STCW Deck Officer Class 5 exams (Master 500 tons) but need some more sea time before I receive my certificate. Here are some suggestions for services I can offer you:
You'll find me mature, highly responsible and pleasant company and I enjoy working with people of all ages, including children. I'm a non-smoker. In addition to my maritime qualifications I bring many useful skills from my earlier professions, including business experience and advanced IT skills. With my background and experience I can contribute in a number of useful fields on board. Please click here for a list of ideas. I will perform above expectations and we'll work particularly well together if you see me as a partner rather than an employee. Also the suggestions above are in no way exclusive, feel free to discuss any other ideas with me. The freelance advantage As a freelance mariner I will often be able to provide an immediate and high quality solution for your crew needs. Note that freelance doesn't necessarily mean short commitments. There is no reason to cut short an arrangement which both parties are happy with. On the other hand, if you ideally would like to employ crew for the longer term I will keep your vessel running smoothly while giving you ample time to find the best candidate. I will learn a yacht's systems quickly, meaning only a small investment in time is required to get me up to speed. Later on you may find it very useful to have someone at hand who knows the yacht well whenever your permanent crew needs time off or assistance, for example on longer passages. Please have a look at my qualifications and experience on the following pages and contact me to receive my CV and excellent references. I have a good network and may be able to provide other crew as well. Languages I speak and write fluent English as well as native Dutch and Norwegian. I also speak good German and basic French, and have an excellent understanding of Swedish and Danish. Travel, visas Though my formal address is in Norway, I live an international life, will travel easily and anywhere and have a B1/B2 United States visa. Interests Boating, trading, writing, photography, travel, nature, cycling and hiking, reading, film, personal development and coaching, spending time with family and friends, working with young people and children with or without special needs, voluntary work.
