Summary
34m Private / Light Charter Yacht – Captain Opportunity (Med-Based)
A well-run 34m private yacht with occasional light charter is seeking an experienced and personable Captain to lead a close-knit, family-oriented program in the Mediterranean. This is a year-round, employed position with a strong emphasis on lifestyle, longevity, and mutual respect between owners and crew.
The ideal candidate is active, grounded, and hands-on—someone who leads by example and takes genuine pride in both the vessel and the onboard atmosphere. This is not a rotational or corporate-style program; the owners value connection, clear communication, and a Captain who is fully present and engaged.
The owners enjoy an outdoors-focused lifestyle and appreciate a Captain who is happy to share in activities such as hiking, paddleboarding, and exploring ashore, while still maintaining professional boundaries and operational excellence.
