Summary

55m Modern Classic Ketch seeking a sailing deckhand with skills as a photographer/videographer.


This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join an off the beaten track, world cruising program. The yacht is currently on a circumnavigation with plans to go to some amazing destinations over the coming years. Therefore, we require someone with strong photography/videography skills to record our trips for the owner and create post trip edits. 


Proficiency in using cameras, drones and go pros is a must and good experience using editing suites such as Light room and Adobe is essential. Previous work as a photographer is not necessarily compulsory but good all round skills and knowledge are required.


The ideal candidate would be an adventurous and passionate photographer with a sailing background. Extra skills/knowledge in diving and fishing would also be beneficial. 


You will be working closely with the First Mate who has been promoted internally and will be assisting him with the day to day running of the deck and maintenance schedule. This is a great opportunity to join a well established program and learn from an experienced deck team. 


Candidates who are new to the yachting industry may be considered provided they have the necessary photography skills and the right attitude.
