Skils
I have been driving large cruisers and yachts as well as large High Performance boats since 1981. I have driven yachts for water delivery across lake Michigan from Cadillac to Michigan City, IN on several occasions, and have Captained large Yachts across Florida from Miami through lake Okeechobee to Sarasota.
Attention to detail is a strong point of mine. I will take all necessary precautions to make sure my vessel and crew are safe. I enjoy working with a team, and consider it a challenge to keep my team motivated at optimum performance.
