Summary

A well-maintained 36m private motor yacht is seeking an experienced and professional Captain for a South Florida–based program, with occasional cruising to the Bahamas.

This is a private, owner-focused role with regular family usage. The vessel is typically used on weekends, so the position is well suited to a Captain who appreciates a consistent program and is comfortable with primary days off falling during the week.

Program Overview

  • South Florida–based year-round
  • Occasional Bahamas cruising
  • Predominantly weekend usage
  • Weekday time off

Responsibilities

  • Overall safe operation and navigation of the vessel
  • Responsibility for compliance, safety, and maintenance standards
  • Crew leadership, scheduling, and development
  • Voyage planning and execution
  • Maintaining a high standard of onboard experience
  • Coordination with management and shoreside support as required

Ideal Candidate

  • Previous experience as Captain on similar-sized private yachts
  • Strong regional knowledge of South Florida and the Bahamas
  • Professional, calm, and discreet demeanor
  • Organized, hands-on approach to yacht operations
  • Comfortable with a low-key, private family program

This role offers stability within a private program and would suit a Captain seeking a long-term position based in South Florida.
