Available: Crew Cook for Atlantic crossing From April. Caribbean - Europe

Currently in the Caribbean

Looking for a Crew Cook position on a sailing yacht for Atlantic Crossing Caribbean - Europe for my partner and/or me. Potentially (bit not essential) as couple. Experience cooking and provisioning for +15 crew & guests and across the Atlantic.


Experience in/Available for

- Short term deliveries and crew/captain/cook positions
- Boatcaretaking
- Sharing recreational surf / sailing /freedive experiences.
- Collaboration. Teaming up to organize trips. I'm looking for boats on which I can organize some low key, simple ocean adventure and action Ocean Nomads trips. I find the adventure kind of people but need a boat.
- Connecting you with adventure / eco / action minded crew. I have tons of people asking me for sailing / project / caretaking opportunities. Especially the offshore / healthy / adventure minded kind. Reach out if you could use some help.

My name is Suzanne and continuously excited to explore the nature and adventure sport potential of the seas and the cultural richness of far away destinations. I'm a DIY oceanographer and ocean explorer, learning about the seas through sailing, kitesurfing,and freediving. I live the nomad lifestyle as a location independent entrepreneur working on ocean-related sustainability and adventure projects. 

I'm a jack of all trades and can work as skipper, deckhand, chef, freediver instructor, filmer/photographer, and adventure motivator and trip organizer. I love to take kids (or anyone) out for snorkeling, kayaking, exploring too.

I'm a qualified YachtMaster Offshore and have logged 5 Atlantic Crossings, multiple overnight passages in the Caribbean and Med, crewed in a few regattas, +/- 28.000 NM sailed on +/- 40 different boats (30-90ft, mostly boats around 40ft). Can provide references for all of them. Also, I have the STCW10.

I have extensive knowledge of the Atlantic, Caribbean Islands, Spain, and Tonga. Love discovering new territories and can be your guide to figure it all out. I'm particularly passionate about wooden boats.

I keep a positive and calm attitude no matter the situation, and can to help in all areas of sailing, planning, cooking & maintenance. I speak fluent Dutch, English and Spanish and a little French and German. I'm an author, blogger and video creator. I don't smoke and eat vegan. I don't have problems with others eating meat/fish.

Confident swimmer, good listener, good communicator, no body piercings, no facial piercings, no tattoos at all, travel light (little luggage), respectful, committed, eager to learn & work, fit & healthy, friendly, polite, positive outlook, skilled, trustworthy, open minded, enthusiastic, easy going, sense of humor, available on my own, enjoy cooking, don't mind cleaning, can follow orders, enjoy teaching, interpreting, buy my own boat one day, live on little money, learn a language

Do you have a boat just sitting on a mooring somewhere growing barnacles? Or do you need to leave your boat behind for a month or longer? Or would you rather have your boat somewhere else but don’t want / can’t do the delivery yourself? Or are you selling her for a bargain? Your boat can serve as an ocean impact sloop, supporting the mission to protect the ocean! Contact me.

I'm interested in paid jobs, collaborations, joining wooden boat regattas, deliveries, skill exchanges, also willing to chip in if it's the perfect match. Also, I'm keen to take care of your boat in may you need to leave your boat.

Looking for shared mindsets on adventure, surf, kitesurfing, freediving, sustainability, saving the ocean, and a healthy lifestyle. I'm studying nutrition and natural medicine.

And if I can't or am not what you seek, I have a whole bunch of dedicated Ocean Nomads ready to put their hands on deck.
