Seeking Crew For Easter Island & The South Pacific
We are seeking experienced crew to sail with us on a 90+ day passage from Panama (or west-Caribbean if you prefer) to the South Pacific via Galapagos, Easter Island, Pitcairn, Gambier Islands and French Polynesian.
We're a family of six who are two years into a circumnavigation. In addition to my wife and me, we have four children aboard who we home school as we go. The kids are Betty age 11, Paul age 9 and twins Karen and Henry age 6. We are a lively, noisy boat, but fortunately cats are roomy.
Crew-couples are preferred, as that maximizes the number of people available for watch given we have two queen-size berths available.
We estimate this passage may take 90-100 days and that your contribution would be $3,250 per person for a couple, or $6,000 for a single. This covers some of the running costs, food and the Galapagos. More details will be provided once we're in contact.
I am sorry to have to add this, but if you are looking for work or for payment in some form for crewing with us, then this passage is not for you. Thanks for understanding.
We plan to cross through the Panama Canal in mid-late January 2018, visit Galapagos, Easter Islands, Pitcairn, Gambier Islands and arrive French Polynesia late April or early May. We will leave the Cook Islands for New Zealand in September 2018.

We look forward to speaking with you if you think you might be a fit with our crew.
