First Mate – 24m Private S/Y

We are seeking a professional and reliable crew member to join a privately operated performance sailing catamaran currently based in the Caribbean. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone with strong shorthanded or solo sailing experience who thrives in a dynamic and safety-focused environment.

The ideal candidate will be confident handling high-performance sailing systems, including electric winches, and capable of working independently on deck while maintaining a strong team spirit. A clear understanding of onboard safety and emergency protocols is essential, along with a proactive and positive attitude.

Candidates must hold valid STCW, ENG1, and Security Awareness certification, and be fluent in English. Experience on large catamarans (50ft+) and technical or mechanical skills would be a bonus.

This is not a 9–5 job—it’s a lifestyle. The right person will be trusted to take responsibility, work autonomously when needed, and contribute to a safe and enjoyable onboard atmosphere.

Salary: DOE

Leave:  TBC

Start Date: ASAP

Language Requirements:

Certificates and Qualifications:

All applicants must hold a valid ENG1 certificate to be able to apply for this position.
