My long term aspiration is to become a superyacht captain, but I also hope to introduce young people that come from a similar background as me to the superyacht industry

Jaydon Owusu

Whenever I feel down, I think back to my time at UKSA – laughing with friends in accommodation, learning on the water, and preparing for my cadetship. None of it would have been possible without the funding I received, or without the amazing team who supported me every step of the way. UKSA has helped me in more ways than I can explain.
