To Whom It May Concern

I have known Stuart Carter for about 5 years and I can sincerely vouch for his excellent character, skill at most things to do with the marine industry, good nature and his absolute honesty. I had the good fortune to sail with him on a 4500 mile passage from the Arabian Gulf to Southern France just over a year ago on this very Yacht – now renamed – and at no time was there any tension between Stuart and the rest of the crew in spite of at times bad weather and very busy shipping lanes. His navigation and watchkeeping was always precise and without errors.

I can strongly recommend him to anyone wishing a good reliable mate or Captain on any size of vessel.

I can be contacted at any time on the above number for any further information should it be required.

To Whom It May Concern

Re: Stuart James Carter

Stuart Carter was employed as Captain on the M/Y Rachelle (115ft) from May 2002 – January 2003. During this time as Captain onboard he has proved to be honest, reliable and very capable. His leadership qualities, the putting together of a great team, and achieving high standards of both professionalism and improvements of the vessel have been noticed by owners and other crew alike. Stuart has proven himself to be very committed and loyal, and is both respected and genuinely liked by his crew.

Stuart joined the vessel in Palm Beach, Florida for the Atlantic crossing to Palma Mallorca, Spain. Here he began a very busy Mediterranean season, cruising France onto Monaco for Show Boats and then to Italy for a shipyard period in Viaregio, where everything was achieved on the scheduled date. Upon leaving Italy Stuart continued onto Corfu, Greece for a charter throughout Greece and the Islands. After the season ended, the vessel was based in Palma so work could be completed to insure a safe passage back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean for a private charter from St. Maarten through the US and BVI Islands.

I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart to any future owner. His ability to interact easily with others and his hands on approach make him an asset. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

To whom it may concern

Captain Stuart Carter assumed command of my yacht Gentle Wind during some very trying times. Under time and weather pressure, he was able to get the boat and crew organised, and delivered us all safe and sound from Rarotonga, Cook Islands, to Australia, despite several additional difficulties encountered en-route. Further, his knowledge and contacts enabled us to complete some repairs and modifications after we arrived in Australia, within budgetary and time constraints.

Stuart’s professionalism is second to none, and he treated myself, my crew, and my yacht like royalty, as though we were twice as much boat. I would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

I am very pleased to be recommending Captain Carter to any future employer, for throughout his period of employment with us he proved that he is a responsible professional fully committed to his work, always carrying out his duties efficiently and diligently and showing constancy of character.

Furthermore, in his capacity as Captain, Mr. Stuart Carter displayed excellent leadership skills that not only earned him the crew’s respect but also ensured a most satisfactory performance from their part.

As a personality, Captain Carter is very agreeable with a positive attitude but also firm when and where circumstances demand it.
