CAPTAIN & STEW COUPLE TEAM | 2:2 ROTATION

This is a remote position.

We're looking for a brilliant Captain & Stewardess couple to join a busy private sailing programme that's got a lot to look forward to over the next few years.

The owners have completely fallen in love with racing, so alongside Mediterranean cruising, the yacht has a packed Caribbean regatta calendar and the Oyster World Rally ahead. It's a varied programme that mixes proper sailing, owner use, racing and adventure, with no two seasons looking quite the same.

Operating on a 2:2 rotation, you'll be joining a well-established team and a programme that's continuing to grow. Winters are spent in the Caribbean, summers in the Mediterranean, and there's plenty on the horizon as the owners continue to invest in both the yacht and the wider programme.

The yacht is currently in Newport, Rhode Island for her pre-winter yard period before heading south to the Caribbean in December. Start date is October/November 2026.

This would suit a couple in an established relationship who genuinely enjoy sailing life, take pride in what they do, and are looking for a role they can really make their own. Great owners, exciting plans, and the chance to be part of something for the long term. 

Requirements

• Yachtmaster Ocean or Master 200 minimum
  
• Strong engineering background and happy to get hands-on
  
• Previous cruising and racing experience
  
• Experience running larger yachts with strong superyacht standards
  
• Organised, proactive and confident leading a programme
  

• Loves sailing and being involved on deck, not just interior duties
  
• Excellent attention to detail and housekeeping standards
  
• Positive, upbeat and adaptable
  
• Comfortable in both guest-facing and hands-on sailing environments
  

• All relevant STCW and ancillary certifications
  
• B1/B2 visa preferred (can be arranged for the right couple)
  
• Experience on larger sailing yachts
  
• High standards of cleanliness, presentation and professionalism
  
• Looking for a long-term position rather than just another season
  
• Strong team players with a super positive attitude
  
• We are considering couple teams due to ease of cabin arrangements.
