Seeking Delivery position

I just sold a 47’ catamaran that was doing business as Indian River Cruises, in Cocoa, Florida. In addition to vessel maintenance, I am responsible for marketing, reservations, accounting and crew training. Being a life long blue water sailor, a boat builder and a Purser for TWA and American Airlines for over sixteen years, I have an unusual and unique skill set. I have a complete understanding of what is involved in piloting, maintaining and troubleshooting a vessels’ operating systems as well as the professional polish and interpersonal skills that are necessary to work with others. I am perfectly at home and comfortable in all types of environs; from an intimate family setting to that of a large charter operation. I look forward to discussing, in person, how I may contribute as part of the crew.
