Captain

MUST BE AMERICAN OR GREEN CARD HOLDER
85' yacht is looking for a Captain

Expected Use of the Boat: Since we live in Tennessee, use of our boat will be somewhat limited during the September to May time period. We expect to be on the boat during most school holidays and when the kids are out for the summer. There may be times when we will use the boat on weekends for abbreviated trips. We have two upcoming trips planned, each a week to 10 days, – one in January and the second in February. Periodically, I may fly down to visit the boat. When we do travel, we prefer to be at anchor in a protected lagoon or harbor vs. staying in a marina.

Destinations: Generally, the Bahamas will be the destination of choice – Exumas, Abacos, Eleuthera.

When my confidence level in our captain and the boat grows, we would love to explore most of the Caribbean, the east coast of the US and the Canadian Maritimes. There is a strong possibility we may ship the boat to the Mediterranean during the summer of 2025.

Captain/Engineer: This position is for a hands-on, proactive Captain/Engineer who will take a leadership role in the care, maintenance, safety, security, planning and execution of the yacht management as if it were his/her own vessel. The Captain/Engineer will be the only full-time crew, and my family and I will assist with lines, docking etc. Often times, I will take the helm and assist with any trips. The Captain/Engineer is expected to clean and maintain personally (monthly bottom cleaning to be done by
outside service) and to perform as much repair work as possible before hiring a third party service. The Captain/Engineer will also be required to handle all administrative and provisioning work for the vessel.

Other traits important to us:

- Personable, outgoing personality
- The person for this position must have a consistently strong work ethic
- MUST have a strong sense of urgency
- Honest and trustworthy
- Detail-oriented, disciplined, thorough and proactive
