Captain - 50m Charter S/Y

Captain – 50m Charter S/Y

Döhle Yacht Crew are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Captain to lead a 50m charter sailing yacht operating a dual-season Mediterranean and Caribbean programme.

The yacht is being reintroduced to the charter market, and the owner is committed to building a successful and reputable charter operation. We are therefore looking for a strong Captain with previous experience on large yachts who understands both the operational and commercial demands of a busy charter programme, while maintaining the highest standards of safety, guest experience, and crew management.

The successful candidate will be responsible for all aspects of vessel operations, including navigation, compliance, financial oversight, charter coordination, crew leadership, maintenance planning, and owner relations. A proven ability to work closely with charter brokers, management companies, and crew to deliver a seamless guest experience is essential.

This role requires a proactive and hands-on leader who can motivate and develop a high-performing team while fostering a positive onboard culture. Previous sailing yacht experience would be highly advantageous, particularly on charter-focused vessels.

Candidates should hold a Master 500GT licence or higher and have a demonstrable track record as Captain on similar-sized yachts.

This is a rotational position offering the opportunity to help shape the future of an exciting charter programme from the outset.

Leave: Rotational
Salary: DOE
Start Date: TBC

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Captain looking to take ownership of a developing charter programme and build a strong reputation alongside a committed owner and professional crew.
