DECKHAND/STEWARD DENNIS ROBERTS
Dennis has always been fascinated by boats. Growing up in South Africa, he spent every available minute on the water. When he wasn't practicing his boat maneuvers he was honing his water sports skills. This lifelong passion for the ocean set him on a professional course with a long-term goal to become "the captain of the ship". To that end, he has completed numerous marine courses including RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and Professional Superyacht Deckhand
Dennis' charm and affable personality, combined with his excellent capability as a seaman, make him a delightful crew member. Guests on board NENNE who need a little help with the water toys can rely on patient, thoughtful direction. He enthusiastically socializes with everyone and is especially great with children. He says, "As a competent sportsman I enjoy interacting with people, as I am fond of a family orientated environment, filled with fun and humor."
