EJ Jansen from Bravo Tv's Below DeckSeries, has had a passion for yachting every since childhood. After getting laid off of his land based job in 2008, he did everything in his power to make his yachting dreams come true.

At first he struggled to find his way in this unknown and close-knit industry but eventually got his first job cruising around the Caribbean on a 174ft Amels super yacht. As he got deeper in the industry he found himself cruising on many different yachts in areas like; Monaco. Antibes, France. San Remo, Italy. Long Island, New York. New Port, Rhode Island. Maine. Bahamas. Miami / Fort Lauderdale. Seattle & Vancouver. Panama and Central America. Cuba and so many more.

He gradually worked his way up the ranks from junior deckhand all the way to captain. During his time on board he gained a great deal of knowledge and a network of connections in the industry but he never forget his early days and how hard it was to get his foot in the door. This is why he strives so hard to constantly improve and perfect Yacht University to show you everything you will need to know to be a success and to have an experience like his or better!
