? Crew Wanted for 2025–2026 Sailing Adventure! ?
Departing September • Galveston ➝ Alabama ➝ Florida ➝ Bahamas

We’re John & Missy, a married couple with a deep love for the sea and life aboard our 40' sailing vessel. As we prepare for our next great adventure, we're looking for a like-minded crew member (or two) to join us for an unforgettable journey starting in September 2025, weather permitting.

? About the Voyage:

Departure: Galveston, Texas

Route: ICW and Gulf passages to Alabama, Florida, and onward to the Bahamas

Pace: Easygoing — we like to enjoy the journey, explore local spots, and handle any boat maintenance as needed

Duration: Flexible, but ideally looking for someone interested in a longer-term experience


? Who We're Looking For:

Someone who is genuinely interested in the liveaboard lifestyle

Has some sailing experience

Comfortable helping with:

Boat projects

Cooking and cleaning

Night watch shifts


Okay with shared expenses (food, fuel, marinas, etc. — not boat repairs or upgrades)

Social drinkers okay, but no drinking while underway

Occasional smokers, but never inside the boat


?️ What We Offer:

Private crew quarters

A collaborative, respectful atmosphere

A chance to gain miles, memories, and meaningful experience on a real cruising voyage


If this sounds like your kind of adventure, let’s connect! We’re happy to video chat, share more about the boat, and learn more about you.

Fair winds,
John & Missy
