Kevin completed his education as Maritime Officer at the Maritime University in Terschelling in 2009. During his traineeship on board cruise ship MS Volendam owned by Holland America Line he knew that he wanted to stay in the passenger ship business. But he missed the personal contact with the guests like he used to have during his summer holidays as deckhand. So, after his graduation he chose to apply for a job as 2nd officer on board Sherakhan. After about a year he was promoted to Chief Officer. Further in his career he worked as 4th, 3rd and 2nd engineer on yachts as well as commercial vessels, but his passion lies on the bridge. After sailing the world as staff captain on board Legend, Kevin returned to Sherakhan. During his experiences he has seen that a happy and motivated crew immediately reflects on the quality of the service and success of the charter for our guests. Besides his love for his job, he loves water sports and likes to spend any free moment on a wakeboard.
