Objective
Thanks for visiting my site. I am currently looking for a new temporary or full-time position after a client pulled out of a large new build project I was due to be involved with.
I am particularly interested in managing refit/build projects, shore-based management positions, and would also consider relief / deliveries as mate / captain, or a Captains position on a quiet private yacht in the Western Med.
Overview
My professional career now spans over 23 years, during which time I spent 10 years working with my wife and have run yachts of between 80 – 195 ft primarily as a Captain and Stewardess/Deck team. During the last few years, we have been living in our house in Scotland, where I have been running charter yachts on the west coast.
I have cruised extensively from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and the West Indies to the Eastern Seaboard of the States, starting with a sailing background from a young age before moving onto power boats as well.
I have a strong mechanical, electrical, IT, networking and electronics background and have been involved in managing various refits, including bringing vessels into class for the first time, and creating / implementing mini ISM’s.
Please don´t hesitate to give me a call on +447980892762 or message me on WhatsApp
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cameron

Given an impossibly small budget, he successfully planned alterations and improvements for the yacht - including the complete re-design and installation of a new electrical system throughout. By his carefully researched standards, dedication and endeavour he raised the level of the yacht to the MCA Blue Code standard with very few outside contractors called in.

Cameron is a very hand's on captain, who was personally involved in all aspects of the work, whilst maintaining a managerial overview, his financial accounting was equally accurate and comprehensive.
