Bora Bora to Savusavu
SY Evenstar is looking for 1-2 extra crew for our upcoming Pacific Leg from French Polynesia to Fiji.
We are two experienced sailing friends in our mid 50’s looking for 1-2 extra crew members to share this leg of our cruise with us. All crew will equally participate in watchkeeping and other duties. Our priority is to make this a comfortable and enjoyable passage for everyone, with some downtime along the way to enjoy the sights.
It’s probably an overly ambitious trip for complete novices, but we are happy to provide training and safety equipment for keen and upbeat sailors with limited experience, and who might be looking to learn and build up some sea miles. We’d expect you to stand solo watches after a proper induction to the vessel, so some prior knowledge of sailing is preferred.
We are interested in promoting some gender and age diversity on board; so we are keen to hear from anyone who might be interested.
Accommodation will be shared in a separate twin cabin with individual bunks.
Grocery costs are shared by all crew on board. Boat-related costs such as fuel and docking are paid for by the skipper.
We expect to stop off in the Cook islands along the way, and we will be certain to explore any surfing or diving opportunities that arise, so surfers and scuba divers should take special note.

Pacific Crossing with Steve
I sailed with Steve on his HallbergRassy53 from Tahiti to Fiji in September 2022. The boat is in excellent condition and fully equipped with the best you need on a long ocean passage. Steve is one of the most reliable captains I sail with in regards to his sail-trimming skill (permorfance vs safety), mecanics skills, social and living together skill, and he is a excellent communicator. All crew are included in all the sailing tasks (navigation, forecasting, repair, manoeuvre, maintenance, cooking, cleaning etc.) on a same level as he is. Above all, he is very safety minded but take the best of his vessel-performance. As a women-sailor, I felt 100% safe as Steve always was stable, respectful and open-minded. It was lots of fun scuba-diving with the sharks in the Cook Islands, singing and playing guitare on the deck and cooking best food ever on the boat ! Highly recommanded, feel free to contact me for further details on our pacific passage. I hope I can sail again together with Paul and Steve !
