Robert Young

I am looking to obtain my first Deckhand/Engineer position on a Superyacht. I am happy to work in either position. I love being outdoors and being around the ocean. I am easy to get along with as well as being able to work well individually or within a team. I am hardworking and disciplined when it comes to completing work and tasks and I hold myself to a very high standard. I spend most of my time outdoors whether that’s wakeboarding or playing sports, I also enjoy going to the gym.

I am very determined to expand my knowledge and skills in the yachting industry. My future goals and objectives in the yachting industry is to further develop my skills and gain the relevant credentials to become a captain or chief engineer one day.
