Watch: Still sailing! - Sept 2020
"Work-for-sail" trade for sailing trip(s) in the Greek isles
This is a little different to the usual crewing opportunities. We're a small, owner-operated charter company in the Dodecanese, Greece. We often do "work-for-sail" trades at the start of our season; basically, come help us get the boats ready, and you'll get a free sailing holiday(s), everything included.
We need people with strong practical, DIY skills. Woodworking or electrical would be especially welcome. Anyone who is an experienced boat painter would be a demi-god.
Usually we've found this works for people who are new to the sailing scene and want to learn. We've had young travellers with not much $$s, but lots of enthusiasm! Or experienced sailors who are curious to learn what the charter biz is like behind the scenes.
We've also started to add another cool skill-set for "trades" - digital nomads with great marketing / website / SEO skills, to help us keep up with this eternally-changing landscape!
The main refit/work time is anytime from now till early June; we'll be all-hands-on-deck to get the boats ready. Usually we take off for a team sail in the first week of June - a mega-fun celebration of season start!
The trade time is flexible; from a week or so upwards. But with the post-covid environment having changed our work-world so dramatically, we can see lots more flexibility out there. Open to brain-storming!
We have a PDF with lots more details.... just drop us a line and we can send it to you. Also - check out our website,
