Deckhand
Location:

Start date:
October 2026
Job posted:
September 28, 2026

We are looking for a motivated, all-round Deckhand to join the crew of a beautiful Sunreef 60 sailing catamaran, cruising the Mediterranean and Caribbean. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves being hands-on, thrives in a small, close-knit crew, and takes pride in delivering true five-star service to guests.

This is a permanent, long-term position (not seasonal). Start: October, Spain.

Cruising Grounds

  • Mediterranean (mid-May – October)
  • Caribbean (mid-November – mid-April)
  • Possible Atlantic crossings (November/April)

What You'll Do

  • Assist the Captain with mooring, anchoring, and general deck operations
  • Handle mooring lines, fenders, and sails as needed
  • Keep the deck and exterior spotless — washdowns, cleaning, polishing
  • Support tender operations and water toys/watersports equipment
  • Help with table setting and guest service during meals
  • Maintain the yacht's interior and exterior to the highest standard
  • Handle fine tableware, glassware, and equipment with care — understanding the standards expected on a private yacht
  • Assist with provisioning and stock management
  • Maintain safety equipment and take part in safety drills

What We're Looking For

  • 3 years of experience as a Deckhand
  • Experience on sailing yachts/catamarans required
  • Understanding of the difference between charter and private yacht service — private yachts call for extra attention to detail and closer interaction with the owner
  • Eager to learn and grow, with a genuine willingness to pitch in wherever needed
  • Honest, discreet, and reliable — someone the owner can fully trust
  • Flexible and adaptable, while maintaining professional distance with owner and guests
  • Good physical fitness and a positive, can-do attitude

Languages

  • English — required
  • Ukrainian, Polish, or Russian — a plus
