Defendant-Appellant James Roosevelt Barker appeals his 135-month sentence imposed after he pled guilty to (1) aiding and abetting the possession with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine while aboard a vessel subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, in violation of 46 App. U.S.C. § 1903(a), (g); 18 U.S.C. § 2; and 21 U.S.C. § 960(b)(l)(B)(ii); and (2) conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine while aboard a vessel subject to the jurisdiction of the *907 United States, in violation of 46 App. U.S.C. § 1903(a), (g), and (j); and 21 U.S.C. § 960(b)(l)(B)(ii). No reversible error has been shown; we affirm.

Barker first argues that the district erred in denying him a minor role reduction, U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2(b). 1 He asserts that he was less culpable than the other persons found on the “go-fast” boat, which was carrying 1,759 kilograms of cocaine, because he only operated the boat’s engines, did not take custody of the cocaine on the boat, had no ownership interest in the smuggled drugs, and did not plan the drug smuggling operation. Barker also contends that the small fee he received for his participation—$1,300—indicates that he played a minor role in the operation.

We review for clear error the district court’s determinations about a defendant’s role in an offense. United States v. Ryan, 289 F.3d 1339, 1348 (11th Cir. 2002). “The defendant has the burden of establishing his role by a preponderance of evidence.” Id. Under U.S.S.G. § 8B1.2(b), “[a] defendant warrants a two-level reduction for playing a minor role in an offense if he is less culpable than most other participants, although his role could not be described as minimal.” Id.

Sentencing courts should consider two elements when determining a defendant’s role in an offense: “first, the defendant’s role in the relevant conduct for which [he] has been held accountable at sentencing, and, second, [his] role as compared to that of other participants in [his] relevant conduct.” United States v. De Varon, 175 F.3d 930, 940 (11th Cir. 1999) (en banc).

The district court committed no clear error in determining that Barker’s role in the offense was more than minor. About the first element, Barker’s sentence was based only on the relevant conduct for which he was held accountable at sentencing: the 1,759 kilograms of cocaine seized from the “go-fast” boat. Barker admitted that he operated the boat’s engines and that he was paid $1,300 for his work. And the district court correctly pointed to the large drug quantity in denying Barker a minor role reduction. See id. at 943 (noting that, in the drug courier context, the amount of drugs is a “material consideration” in assessing defendant’s role in his relevant conduct). About the second element, Barker was one of only five crew members on the “go-fast” boat, which was carrying a large amount of cocaine. Barker has not established that he was less culpable than the other crew members. We see no clear error in the district court’s refusal to apply a minor role reduction in this case.

Barker next argues that his sentence was unreasonable under the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). He contends that, in determining his sentence, the district court should have considered the small role he played in the offense, his lack of prior criminal history, and other personal circumstances, including his limited education, the extent to which he financially supported his immediate family, and his wife’s poor health. 2 Barker was sentenced after the Supreme Court issued its decision in Booker, and we review Barker’s sentence for reasonableness in the light of *908 the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). United States v. Winingear, 422 F.3d 1241, 1244-46 (11th Cir. 2005). 3

We conclude that Barker’s sentence was reasonable. The district court correctly calculated Barker’s Guideline imprisonment range as 135-168 months; and the court sentenced Barker to the lowest point of his Guideline range. In sentencing Barker, the district court noted the § 3553(a) factors, commenting in particular on the quantity of drugs involved. Nothing in the record convinces us that Barker’s sentence was unreasonable in the light of the § 3553(a) factors.

AFFIRMED.
