Luke Ainley

As a diligent and versatile individual who has thrived in a variety of roles, I
am excited to establish a career in the superyacht industry and pursue
employment as a deckhand. Possessing essential skills in engineering,
problem-solving and effective communication, I am eager to contribute
meaningfully within a professional driven team environment. Having
dedicated nearly 5 years to my initial employer, I have consistently
demonstrated reliability and commitment to my duties. I am enthusiastic
about the prospect of joining a new crew, where I can further enhance my
skills and make a positive impact. Eager for fresh challenges and to enrich
my life experiences, I am prepared to embark on this amazing new chapter
in my career.
