About the job
Deckhand
Job Title: Deckhand Start Date: November Rotation: 38 Days Leave Salary: DOE Contract Type: Permanent
The Yacht
- Private & Charter Yacht
- Yacht Size: 52M+
- Itinerary: Mediterranean (typically dual season)
The yacht has just come off a successful charter season, completed its survey and is now in the yard until early January. Next season is likely to take in Palma, Turkey and France, with hopefully charters continuing into 2027.
The Role
We're recruiting a Deckhand either on a temp or permanent basis to join a private and light charter yacht with lovely owners.
With a crew of nine, the team is close-knit and everyone chips in across departments. You'll need to be confident driving tenders, although training can be given on board. This is a hands-on role, so we're looking for a real grafter with solid practical experience.
The owners value their privacy and keep very high standards, so a discreet, professional approach is important. The yacht offers a supportive environment with training on board, making this a great opportunity for someone who wants to develop their deck career.
The Candidate
The right person will have:
- A great attitude
- A willingness to learn
- A good sense of humour
- An enjoyment of an active lifestyle
- The ability to fit well into a small, hardworking team
The crew are not big drinkers, so someone with a similar outlook would suit the boat well.
Requirements
- Required Experience: Minimum 6 months experience
- Qualifications: Ideally Yachtmaster and Divemaster
- Required Visa: Schengen Visa (essential)
- Due to cabin arrangements: Male
