Seasonal Deckhand – 82ft Swan - US based
An 82ft Swan sailing yacht is seeking a Deckhand to join for the summer season, running from mid-June through to mid-September.
This is a private, low-key family program with lovely owners who primarily enjoy day sailing, alongside occasional cruising around Maine and Rhode Island. The yacht will be based out of New Hampshire for the summer.
The ideal candidate will have some previous sailing experience and be comfortable in a hands-on deck role onboard a performance sailing yacht. No formal sailing qualifications are required, however candidates should have a good attitude, strong work ethic and enjoy being part of a small, easy-going team.
American passport holders are preferred but a candidate with a valid B1/B2 visa will also be considered.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a straightforward summer sailing role with potential to become permanent for the right candidate. Medical coverage is provided through the yacht, with US private health insurance available after three months should the role become full-time.
Winter itinerary is Miami, 1 regatta followed by the Caribbean.
