1st Mate - Temporary / Seasonal - Panama

Sail the San Blas islands and gain real command experience aboard a 43 ft steel sloop.

I am a professional skipper based in Panama (3 circumnavigations, 20 ocean crossings, MCA Master 3,000 GT). I am looking for a mate / junior skipper, even newly qualified, with a Coastal Skipper licence, able to take command of Chandra or at least stay aboard and look after her at anchor in San Blas during my absences.

You will help me prepare and maintain the boat at Linton Bay Marina (hands-on work), then sail with me around the San Blas archipelago (Guna Yala), one of the last unspoiled corners of the Caribbean.

Dates: from 1 December 2026, minimum 60 days.
Accommodation and meals on board paid. No salary. Travel to Panama at your own expense.

Please send a short introduction with your sailing experience and a copy of your licence.
