Available to hire
Hi, I’m Harland Ross Ho+man, a US citizen with an adventurous maritime career delivering and crewing vessels from the Atlantic to the Caribbean and beyond. I thrive in hands-on roles such as watchkeeping, deck operations, and divemaster duties, always prioritizing safety, seamanship, and vessel readiness.
Long-term I aim to own my own vessel and advance to Mate/OOW and eventually a Captain’s license. I’m available immediately and eager to contribute to a well-maintained, seaworthy vessel.
