Captain & Cook/Stew 24m SY
A 24m commercial sailing yacht is seeking a Captain and Cook/Stew couple to join on a permanent basis from mid-October or early November.
The Malta-flagged yacht is currently in a reputable shipyard in Portland, Maine, undergoing significant works including an engine replacement and general maintenance. She is due to launch in October before departing for the Caribbean in mid-November, with plans to attend the Antigua Charter Yacht Show in December. The ongoing programme will operate between the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
The Captain must be a confident and resourceful sailor with previous command experience and the qualifications required to operate a commercial vessel. The Cook/Stew should have previous experience in a similar dual role and be confident with cooking, provisioning, menu planning and maintaining the interior.
The yacht operates with three crew. A couple is strongly preferred, although suitable individual candidates may also be considered.
