The Larkside People

Patrick Griffith

has spent 25 years working as a yacht captain in and around Palma de Mallorca. He has gained a vast local knowledge in the marine industry and has developed strong working relationships with the local shipyards, classification societies and local sub-contractors which means he has that indispensible, 'must-have' knowledge of how to get things done around here. Now shore-based, he can project manage complete or part refit work and is a reliable back-up for any captain who wants to take leave whilst in Palma.

MOD.N. on various ships, MOD.RAF. power generation and ground support. Also on motor yachts worldwide emergency response, re-powering, survey and refurbishment projects. You can safely say he knows marine engineering inside-out.

Amanda Thompson

has spent the past 20 years as a stewardess onboard various private yachts. The past six years were spent as Chief Stewardess onboard a 53m superyacht. She understands everything to do with the running of a boat and how important it is that crew suit the yacht, the owners, the captain and the rest of the crew which is hugely important whether you are looking for work, or looking for crew. She is a no-nonsense, trustworthy person who will match the right person for the right position.
