Team Player with International Experience

What also sets me apart is my ability to act as a team player. Through my years of working in international teams, I am used to working together effectively and harmoniously. And, my spoken and written English is fluent, so communication on board runs smoothly.

Security and Customer Satisfaction

The safety of the boat and the crew is always my top priority. I always make sure that all safety precautions are taken and adhered to. 

The satisfaction of guests, customers and clients is also very important to me.

I have decades of experience working with customers at different levels:

  • In my main job, for example, as a project manager, consultant, external employee, support contact, on-site technician or as a lecturer at training courses.
  • as a ski instructor (DSLV license) and tour guide on winter sports group weekly trips for Sunwave and Team3Reisen
  • as an instructor practice for recreational (german)boating licenses inland and sea 

That's why I know how important it is to take the customer's problems seriously and address them specifically. The primary goal is always to provide customer satisfaction and excellent service. What is important here is to act flexibly, to initiate or organize changes to plans if necessary and to involve the customer. However, the principle always applies: “Never endanger the safety of the crew or the boat”.

Culinary Skills

And if that wasn't enough, I can also cook well! From simple dishes to small menus – I make sure that we are well catered for in terms of cuisine.

I look forward to accompanying you on your next trip and supporting you with my diverse skills. Let's explore new horizons together and create unforgettable sailing experiences!
