Joseph (Mitch) Monette
Cape Coral,FL
Summary
I am a 23 year old motivated young man who is driven by his love for the water. I grew up helping my father on commercial boats. My goal is to eventually run my own boat, but for now I am open to any exterior positions. I would say my two best traits are my ability to push myself and my hard work ethic! Most would say I am extremely outgoing and that I am constantly networking/meeting new people. I have worked on one boat for about 3 years now as a sole mate and have done side work for plenty of other boats within those three years! Currently I am holding my 100 ton Captains License and looking to add to my experiences! I want to help guest and other crew elevate their experiences on the water with my personal knowledge and skills.
