One Capable, Fun-to-Be-Around Human (South Pacific Edition)
Currently cruising the Tuamotus, French Polynesia aboard a Leopard 44 catamaran, and looking for one solid crew member to join me for an extended adventure through French Polynesia and beyond.
This is hands-on cruising. The kind where things occasionally break, plans change, and sunsets make up for it.
The Deal
• Private cabin + en-suite (yes, your own bathroom — luxury at sea)
• Ridiculous lagoons, remote islands, and no crowds
• Shared sailing, watches, maintenance, cooking, and daily boat life
• Calm, respectful, substance-free while underway
• Compensation based on what you bring to the table
You’ll Probably Enjoy This If You:
• Are competent, curious, and don’t wait to be told what needs doing
• Have sailing/mechanical skills — or learn fast and actually want to
• Communicate well, laugh easily, and handle close quarters like an adult
• Prefer collaboration over chaos and drama-free living afloat
Reality Check
• Not a charter, not a cruise, not a free ride
• I cover boat costs; you cover personal expenses
• Unlimited Wi-Fi and unlimited stars
• Sense of humor required — ocean has one
I’m cruising long-term and looking for one great match, not a rotating cast. If you value contribution, connection, and the kind of freedom that comes with salt on your skin, this might be your lane.
If this resonates, send a short intro, relevant experience, and why this sounds like your kind of adventure.
Extra credit if you’re already nearby — or can be in French Polynesia soon ?⛵
