Deckhand position - 41m - Motor yacht

Description

We are looking for an experienced Deckhand to join our 40m, private M/Y in South Florida.

The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of yacht experience, an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification, and be confident operating a Fjord 41 XL chase boat.

Responsibilities include bridge watch, deck maintenance, washdowns, detailing, tender operations, assisting with guests, and general upkeep of the yacht.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Hardworking, proactive, and self-motivated
