Summary

We are seeking an experienced and motivated First Mate to join our busy charter program. This is a hands-on role that requires strong deck management, excellent large tender driving skills, and the ability to take initiative while working within a dynamic team.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Proven large tender driving experience
  • Strong deck maintenance knowledge and attention to detail
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills
  • A proactive, self-starter attitude
  • Professional guest interaction skills (big personality a plus)
  • Additional skills such as drone piloting or videography (preferred, not required)

We foster a work hard, play hard environment with an outgoing, energetic crew. 

Couples welcome (a 2nd Stewardess position is available).

This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to join a high-volume charter yacht and contribute to a professional, fun, and guest-focused program.

Mate gets drive time once they prove to be capable at their own job.

If you are not in the US, you are not a candidate.

We already have 7 charters booked. This is a fast paced program so if hard work is not embedded in your genes, please don't apply.

We are looking for someone that is excellent with guests and has a personality.
