This is a remote position.
STARTING JULY 2026 - We are now looking for an experienced and versatile Captain, First Mate and Chef/Stew for this popular chartering Oyster 82. Couples and individuals will be considered for these roles. All applicants must know sailing..... and really enjoy it!
The new owner will be using the boat privately in the Med and chartering for the first summer season followed by a Caribbean winter cruising. Next summer they plans are to be based in Sweden. The expected private useage will be around 4 weeks per year. When not privately cruising, the yacht will be chartered out through Oyster Charter.
As a three crewed vessel, willingness to work together as a team is essential. The Captain may be washing up, the Mate may be assisting in the engine room or helping turn down beds and provision, the Chef maybe standing watches and assisting with deck operations. Teamwork makes the dream work! :)
