The Candidate Specification

We're recruiting a deckhand for 70M+ Private yacht. The yacht will cruise to Bermuda, Costa Rica and the Galápagos before crossing the Pacific, with possible visits to French Polynesia, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. A five-year survey is scheduled for next year, which will help shape the yacht's plans in that period.

Strong tender driving skills are a must, and a minimum Nav Watch Rating is preferred for safe manning. The owners would particularly welcome candidates with an additional skill, such as a dive instructor qualification or strong water sports experience, though other skills are also of interest.

The owner has a very keen eye for detail, and the small things matter on board. The right person will be detail-oriented, level-headed, relaxed and easygoing, as well as a genuine grafter who takes pride in their work. The yacht has a strict policy of no tattoos, no piercings, and no smoking or vaping.

The ideal start date is 21st October, and the yacht is looking to fill the positions as soon as possible, so early applications are encouraged.
