Summary

.???? Now Hiring: Chief Officer – New Build Superyacht (Delivers January 2026)

We’re looking for a friendly, organised, and experienced Chief Officer to join our team on an exciting new-build yacht currently under construction and delivering in January 2026. If you enjoy taking ownership, building things from the ground up, and being part of an active, positive crew—this could be the perfect fit.

⭐ About the Role

As Chief Officer, you will play a key role in setting up the yacht from scratch, including:

  • Establishing all ISM, safety procedures, and operational systems
  • Helping structure deck routines and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations
  • Working closely with the Captain and learning ship handling
  • Stepping up as Relief Captain during the Captain’s absence
  • Opportunity for future rotation for the right candidate

We also invest in our crew—training, courses, and professional development will be offered once we see commitment and alignment with the team.

⭐ What We’re Looking For

  • Experienced Chief Officer (new-build experience is a big plus)
  • Very organised, proactive, and confident in setting up procedures
  • Someone who enjoys responsibility and takes pride in their work
  • Keen to grow, learn, and step into more leadership when needed
  • A positive personality who fits into a sporty, active, and motivated crew
  • Someone looking for long-term commitment and longevity

⭐ Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a yacht from the very beginning
  • Have the freedom to set up your own systems and procedures
  • Supportive leadership and a friendly, energetic team
  • Real growth potential—including Relief Captain duties and future rotation
  • A healthy, active, team-focused environment
