A rare opportunity to step up and run your own program on a beautifully maintained private, low-usage yacht with an exciting Med season ahead — including Monaco Grand Prix.

  • Balanced pace with proper maintenance windows

The Role

  • Chief Engineer experience or a strong 2nd Engineer stepping up
  • Hands-on, practical, solutions-driven

Crew Fit
