Objective
I would like to stay shoreside in the South Florida Area, while using my experience as a Passenger Ship Captain. I have been Director of Operations and Operations Manager for various small ship operators in South Florida, and would like to join a company that has more stability then your typical gambling ship or ferry boat operation. I have also been a Yacht Broker for the past 3 years, and would welcome a related sales position.
