Chief engineer
James brings his hands-on, safety-focused energy to the deck team, with a strong practical skillset and a clear ambition to continue progressing through the industry. His four years on M/Y VALINOR took him through busy private and charter programmes, long passages, Pacific cruising, Central America, the East and West Coast of the United States, and The Bahamas. During this time, he grew from Deckhand to Bosun, gaining valuable bridge experience, standing watch on crossings and stepping into Chief Mate duties during leave periods.
More recently, James has been involved in the new-build phase of M/Y PAPER MOON, helping to set up the deck department, organise equipment, assist with commissioning and take part in sea trials. Confident with tenders, water sports, maintenance planning and deck operations, he brings a steady and proactive presence on board.
