A high end 86’ MY is on the search for an experienced captain/ engineer to join their active program.

The yacht is run to a high standard, in survey and takes the occasional charter along the east coast.

However due to the yacht being used privately 95% of the time the owners would be open to candidates holding MCA certification with good experience from overseas (with contract captain for charters)

The captain / engineer must not only be an excellent boat handler but an effective manager, being able to coordinate trades, manage crew, ships paperwork, budgets/expenses, survey requirements and yard periods.

Preference for the captain to live onboard permanently as it operates dual seasons along the East Coast.

The vessel has a long fuel range and there is the possibility of a trip to the south pacific over the winter period (Fiji)

The owner has a good history with yachts and captains and understands the requirements/costs involved with running a professional yacht
