Dedicated and hardworking Bahamian maritime professional with a lifetime of hands on experience on the waters of The Bahamas. Raised in a boating and fishing family with a strong passion for the water. I developed exceptional seamanship, navigation, and water safety skills from an early age from my father. My background includes commercial and recreational fishing, operating a wide range of vessels, performing jet ski rental operations/guides, and serving as a trusted First Mate/ deckhand aboard various private and charter vessels.
