Gerard Kohler – Captain – M/Y Princess K
I have hardly ever given 5 stars for any of my crew but Dinuka is definitely the exception. Princess K was Dinuka’s first super yacht and the guy was a rockstar. Worked round the clock with never a complaint. Absolutely dedicated to his work and sober habits. Would work with him any day.
Matt Cowpe – Captain – M/Y Seahorse
Dinuka has completed his SV Chief Engineer (Y1) CoC this year which is well deserved. Had he not put the yacht’s programme first, he would have achieved this some time ago and so we were all very happy when he achieved this. The only thing that can hold Dinuka back in the future is his own modesty. He is an extremely capable and hard-working engineer who will have no problem succeeding when stepping up onto a larger yacht – don’t let him tell you different!!
Nick James – Captain – M/Y Seahorse
Great crew member and outstanding engineer I have no hesitation in recommending Dinuka
Julian Sincock – Captain – M/Y Princess AVK & Princess K
People who build their own home tend to be very courageous. These people are curious about life.
