Hello Captains and Crew,
My name is Bilal El Baraka, and I am a certified Maritime Officer (All ships whatever size). I have studied in Rotterdam the Netherlands. I have 1 year of experience sailing on cargo ships. I am currently looking to join a sailboat or tall ship as crew either in a volunteer or paid position to gain valuable sea miles towards my Yachtmaster qualification.

Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats
Medical First Aid
Security Awareness Training
Security Training for Designated Security Duties
Marine Environmental Awareness Certificate
MARCOM A (General Operator Certificate) VHF HF MF
Electrical Welding Skills
I have a strong foundation in navigation and a keen interest in ship systems and maintenance. Once onboard, I will dedicate myself to learning and studying all of the vessel’s systems to ensure I can assist with maintenance and operations effectively. I am committed to expanding my technical knowledge and contributing to the smooth running and safety of the ship, always ready to take on new challenges and responsibilities as needed.
What I’m Looking For
Opportunities on sailboats or tall ships (any size or rig)
Volunteer or paid positions—I am open to both
Longer passages or delivery trips to build sea miles
Why Choose Me?
Professional attitude and strong work ethic
Team player who enjoys sharing knowledge and learning from others
Fluent in English Dutch and Arabic
Ready to travel and join from Nov 2025 perhaps a voyage from the canaries to the Caribbean
If you are looking for a reliable, certified, and enthusiastic crew member who is committed to safety and seamanship, I would love to hear from you!
Please note that i dont have any experience on sailboats so i do need to adjust and someone to explain how everything works. But i can quickly learn with my solid background and become a useful crew member
