‘I have worked with Dockside on a fleet of boats. I have learnt many skills in my summer working as a boat valet at Westhaven Marina and acquired new knowledge that will hopefully assist me in my future endeavors pursuing a career in the super yacht industry. My opportunity to work with Dockside has been a very enjoyable one and I am thankful for Fiona’s help and support in giving me this role.’ 
 
Alex Kempin has been working with Dockside for most of the summer. Since working with us he has joined a super yacht and is ready to cruise the world.

Working with Fiona for several months allowed me the confidence to pursue my dream of securing a job on a superyacht.  Thanks to the opportunities given to me by Fiona I was able to learn a great deal about detailing and the general maintenance of boats.  Further, her trusting management style gave me independence and meant I could learn in my own way.  Thanks Fiona!
