Steward(ess) - Permanent - €DOE - General (Europe)
We're after a Stewardess/Cook with genuine cooking talent and a real appetite for adventure to join us for an ocean crossing, a season in the Caribbean, and a passage home via the Azores. The yacht is a 27m sloop currently finishing up in the shipyard in Turkey, ready to head for the Atlantic at the end of November. From there it's a proper offshore crossing to the Caribbean at the end of January, a season exploring out there, then back across the pond to Europe via the Azores by next June, with much of the future itinerary still to be finalised, including onward passages toward Brazil. This is a long-term role for someone who wants real Bluewater miles and a taste of some of the best sailing grounds on the planet, not a season filler.
This is a genuinely very active boat and ambitious itinerary— plenty of miles and a crew that's properly involved rather than sat waiting for guests. Work is more informal compared to typical charter work, and you'll be living aboard full-time as part of a small, close crew. Good food matters hugely, so cooking needs to be a real strength, not an afterthought — day to day and stepped up for guests aboard. Some yacht interior/stewarding experience is wanted, and it's a necessity to be keen to learn deck work and get involved in passages. An open mind and willingness to keep learning is essential, and diving experience is an asset. Much of the future itinerary will be in places without a traditional large yacht presence, so self-motivation and being genuinely happy to get stuck in across all areas matters. Experience with languages, fishing, or diving is all a bonus.
This could also be a great opportunity for someone looking to step up from smaller boats onto something bigger, with real offshore experience to build on. Preference for candidates with proven longevity in a role. Competitive salary, 30 days paid leave, with further unpaid leave negotiable.
