Summary

We have a fantastic 60m S/Y looking for a rotational Chief Engineer. 

  • This yacht runs a very busy program and the annual itinerary is split between owner’s trips, regattas and charters. 
  • It is a complex modern sailing yacht so they do need someone who has previous sail yacht engineering experience as well as previous chief experience on similar sized yachts. They are not willing to take a 2nd Engineer looking for their first Chief role. 
  • Fun, dynamic and close knit crew of 9 on board who are always looking to explore the exciting places they get the chance to visit. 
  • Engineering team of 2 on board. 
  • Y3 license or SV equivalent required for this role and a B1B2 visa would be very helpful but not a dealbreaker. 
  • The salary for this role is dependent on experience. On top of the salary will be an even split of charter tips also. 
  • This is a time for time rotational role (2:2). 
  • There is a generous training budget on board for crew looking to further progress with their careers. 
  • The start date for this role is flexible. They don’t need someone officially until early January 2026. However, if you are currently unemployed and keen to get familiar with the yacht then there is an opportunity to work on board on a day rate basis whilst the yacht is over in the Med. 

If you are looking to join a genuine world cruising sail yacht with a fantastic crew then do not hesitate to send through a latest copy of your CV.
