Chief Mate (Second Captain) – 10 Years of Experience

With over a decade of seafaring experience, I currently serve as a Chief Mate (Second Captain), having worked aboard a variety of vessels in both coastal and deep-sea navigation. Passionate about the maritime world and water sports, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility, safety awareness, and teamwork.

Trilingual (French, English, Portuguese), I’m comfortable working in international and multicultural environments. My role as Chief Mate has allowed me to sharpen my skills in crew management, navigation, port operations, and vessel technical oversight.

Reliable, detail-oriented, and quick to adapt, I’m seeking to further my career aboard demanding vessels where professionalism and passion for the sea go hand in hand.
