Summary

We are seeking a seasoned and hands-on Captain to join a 44-metre Heesen motor yacht operated exclusively for private use. Her homeport lies along the southern coast of Turkey, and she is actively used by her owners between April and October.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate extensive maritime and technical expertise, exceptional crew leadership, and a practical, proactive approach to off-season maintenance, procurement, and crisis management. The owners are looking for someone who is not only detail-oriented and operationally strong, but also fully engaged in the day-to-day running of the yacht.

This is a long-term position offering stability, trust, and continuity for the right individual who values a close working relationship with private owners and takes pride in maintaining the highest standards on board.
