Summary

MCA 3000gt or equivalent.

MCA 500gt or equivalent will be considered if the captain has held the position of captain on 130' motor yacht or larger for at least 2 years, for insurance requirements.

The Vessel needs Captain that can run her in the fashion of being in a constant shipyard mode, yet keeping up with HODS and contractors so that the vessel is at a state of readiness at all times, have annuals and routine maintenance scheduled so the "state of readiness" is not affected to long. As the Captain you are welcome to be shore based, there is no need for you to stay aboard the vessel. Salary, Employment agreement etc. will be discussed with owner in a face to face meeting.

The vessel is based out of South Florida and rarely moves, she does however do cocktail cruises, parties and events on occasion, a Bahamas trip will be thrown in the mix at any given time, usually a weekend trip.

This position is ideally for a Captain or Captain and Sole/chief stew couple that wants a home base between Fort Lauderdale and/or West palm beach and have a "9-5 job" so to speak.
