Looking for a skipper, 1st mate or cook position from June 2025
I'm looking for a paid or voluntary position from June 2025 onward.
I'm a former yacht master instructor and professional skipper with many offshore passages to my name, including a solo transatlantic crossing. I have sailed about 50 000 miles, mostly as skipper or first mate on a variety of monohulls and catamarans up to 30 meters. I know the European Atlantic coast between Scotland and Gibraltar very well, and have also worked in the Med and the Caribbean. Having been the maintenance manager for a fleet of about forty boats, I'm pretty good at boat maintenance.
I'm coming back to professional yachting after a long break to raise a family, and I'm currently sailing as a first mate on an expedition boat based in Patagonia (mostly month long trips to Antarctica). I have a Yactmaster offshore commercially endorsed (MCA and STCW compliant). I'll be back in Europe in May 2025.
I have also extensive professional experience in the catering and hospitality trade (I still part own a vegetarian / vegan restaurant), so a position as a cook or chef (vegetarian / vegan preferably) could also suit me.
I'm perfectly bilingual French and English, and I speak some Spanish.
