Our Vacancies

For an experienced sailor looking to explore the Pacific, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join a 55m private performance sailing yacht embarking on an extensive world-cruising programme. The yacht is set to spend the next couple of years based in the Pacific and will be actively sailing for the majority of the time, offering a fantastic opportunity to put your sailing experience to use while exploring some incredible destinations.

The owners enjoy spending time onboard, joining for trips throughout the programme and getting involved in excursions and watersports. The successful candidate will therefore need to be confident supporting an active programme and helping deliver a great experience for everyone onboard. This is a genuinely hands-on Chief Officer position, with a strong focus on sailing and deck operations rather than a purely bridge-based role. You will work closely with the Captain and be actively involved on deck, supporting the team and leading by example. You will have a Bosun and Deckhand responsible for the day-to-day running of the deck, whom you will oversee and manage, so previous experience leading a deck team is important.

To be considered, you must hold your OOW in hand as a minimum, with Chief Mate being advantageous. Strong sailing experience is essential, and candidates must have previous experience working as a Mate on a 45m+ sailing yacht. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider candidates whose experience is limited to smaller vessels, as proven experience at this level is essential for the programme.

The yacht has a close-knit, settled crew with good longevity and offers an excellent environment for someone looking to develop, grow and build a long-term position. With an exciting Pacific-based programme, extensive time under sail and the opportunity to work aboard a highly active performance sailing yacht, this is a fantastic next step for an experienced sailing professional.

OOW in hand as a minimum; Chief Mate preferred.

Hands-on deck leader, confident managing a Bosun and Deckhand while remaining actively involved in day-to-day deck operations.

We are looking for an experienced Captain to join a 40m private sailing yacht on a rotational basis, starting in the new year. The yacht operates a dual-season programme, cruising the Caribbean during the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer, with the owners joining for trips throughout the year. This is a true sailing yacht, with the sails up for the majority of the time when guests are onboard, so we are looking for someone with a genuine sailing background who enjoys being actively involved in the sailing programme.

You will be responsible for the overall management and safe operation of the vessel, leading a crew of six and overseeing all aspects of the yacht's day-to-day running. The role requires a hands-on Captain who can lead by example, maintain high standards onboard and work closely with the owners to deliver an enjoyable experience.

To be considered, candidates must hold a minimum of Master 500GT and have previous Captain experience on sailing yachts of 35m or above. We are looking for someone with a strong track record of longevity in their previous positions, who can demonstrate stability and commitment. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider candidates without the required Master 500GT qualification or whose sailing yacht experience is limited to vessels under 30m.

This is a great opportunity to join an established programme with a good crew and owners, offering a rotational position and the potential for long-term stability onboard.

Stay flexible and proactive as the household finds its rhythm, and the role evolves

Start date: Mid-December (ahead of Christmas) through to April
Schedule: Split shifts covering mornings and evenings, with afternoons largely free
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Previous chalet hosting experience and/or a superyacht interior background; experience running yacht or property turnarounds is a strong advantage
Exceptionally organised with a meticulous eye for detail; someone who genuinely enjoys creating order

I’m looking for an experienced Captain to join a 30m motor yacht operating a dual-season private and charter programme. The vessel is currently based in the States, where you will join, before cruising to the Caribbean and then heading to the Mediterranean for the summer 2027 season.

You will be responsible for the overall management and operation of the yacht, leading a team of four to five crew and overseeing the recruitment and crewing of the vessel. The yacht is supported by a management company, so you’ll need to be confident liaising with management, keeping them informed and ensuring the yacht is run efficiently and professionally.

The role will involve overseeing day-to-day operations, maintenance, budgets and safety procedures, alongside managing the demands of a busy charter programme. You’ll need to be confident planning itineraries, managing guest expectations and delivering a high standard of service, while also ensuring the yacht is well prepared for its private use and charter periods. Strong communication and relationship-building skills are essential when working with both the owners and charter guests.

We’re looking for an engineer with at least four years of industry experience, ideally with good longevity in previous roles, who also has genuine sailing and racing experience.

This is a specialist racing programme, so being a strong sailor is essential and, unfortunately, we cannot consider candidates without sailing experience.
