Summary

Are you the type of person who takes pride in delivering exceptional service & ensuring guests experience the very best during their time aboard a luxury yacht setting?

Are you looking for a role that provides variety and is challenging? One with as much emphasis on interpersonal skills as there is on organisation & attention to detail.  

Do you work well & remain calm under pressure in a fast-paced environment? Are you the type of person who enjoys working both independently and in a team environment?

Are you ready to take on your next opportunity, grow your skills and learn from seasoned professionals?

If you answered yes to those questions, then we'd love to hear from you!

Our charters offer bespoke voyages to some of the most stunning destinations in the world. We’ve travelled to more than 15 countries in the past two year, and the crew has over 100 years combined yachting experience in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mediterranean.

We host up to 12 guests in the luxurious cabins, while the vessel also boasts accommodation for 8 crew members, including the yacht's captain.  

As such, we’re eager to find a strong and dedicated Mate to join our team. This is a hands-on role, with a variety of responsibilities including tender maintenance and operation, watch keeping, guest interaction and vessel cleaning. 

This is a true team environment, and we all work together to keep things running smoothly, from the glamorous to the practical.

If this sounds like the kind of role you've been looking for, and you choose to apply, here's what you'll be saying yes to:

● Ideal start date is July 30, 2025 - TBD

● Cabin arrangement: sharing with Deckhand. 

● A Busy, Balanced Program: We don’t sit at the dock waiting for things to do. We have a strong program with a mix of owner use & a solid charter schedule. 

● Team-Oriented Attitude: We value a positive, flexible mindset. We prioritize teamwork & are looking for someone who thrives in a collaborative atmosphere. 

● Strong Work Ethic: While this is a luxury yacht, it’s not all glitz & glamour. You’ll be involved in everything from guest service to behind-the-scenes tasks. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves & help in all areas, this is the right place for you.

● Willingness to Learn: Whether you’re looking to advance your career in yachting or hone your existing skills, we offer a learning environment with seasoned professionals who are happy to share their expertise.

● Capabilities: Keen eye for detail. Comfortable getting in the water to help with beach setups and is ready to hit the ground running. Physical strength required to handle inflatables, beach setups and Seabobs.

 And here's what we require from you:

● Non-smoker / No drugs (random tests implemented on board)

● Current STCW 95 basic courses (Firefighting, Sea Survival) 

● ENG 1 Medical certificate of fitness for seafarers

● Must be either a US Citizen or have a valid B1/B2 Visa for the United States

● Communication needs to be clear & concise and be able to work with staff where English is not their first language

● Great attitude & ability to work on your own without supervision.

● Experience aboard luxury yachts ideal

● Experience cruising the Bahamas / Exumas, Caribbean waters. Mediterranean ideal

● Charter yacht experience

Potential for the role to evolve into a rotation position. Crew who have been with the program since last year are being rewarded with rotation as our program improves. The successful candidate needs to have the experience to act as the Mate on board in a luxury yachting environment - it's not a learning environment for transferring skills. You’ll want to demonstrate familiarity with log books, yacht certification, maintenance software etc. 

If you’d like to apply, please do so via Yotspot. Direct emails and phone calls will not be accepted.

Due to the volume of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted.

We look forward to hearing from you!
