About

Greetings, Though I’m new to the yachting industry, I bring over 10 years of diverse professional experience—including nursing, paramedic, firefighting, and military service. I also have many years of recreational boating experience, operating tender-sized vessels and am very comfortable around water sports. I’m known for having a strong work ethic, taking initiative, and being eager to learn. I’m also career-focused and committed to growing within the industry, ready to join a professional crew where I can contribute with a positive, flexible attitude and assist across departments as needed. My background as an aircraft maintainer in the U.S. Air Force gave me a strong foundation in engineering and technical systems—skills I’m confident will be valuable in the engine room. I currently hold my STCW, VPDAD, ENG1,  RYA Powerboat and PWC certifications. I’m also keen to earn my yacht rating as soon as I’ve logged the required hours. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Nelson Rivera
