Deckhand

Native New Zealand Māori, Ross left home at young age to play professional rugby around the world. After suffering a career ending injury, he changed his focus to finding a new career that still satisfied his love for travel. With the help of his cousin, who happened to be a captain, he got his foot in the door of the yachting industry. For the past six years, Ross has worked on various charters ranging from 100’-300’ and travelled to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. With his natural ability and strong work ethic, he continues to grow in his field to hopefully become the next “Stud of the Sea.” Yachting has afforded Ross the opportunity to give his son the life in America he always dreamed of having. When he is not on charter, he spends as much time as he can with his son either at home in Florida.
