Summary
Position: Bosun (Yachtmaster + AEC Preferred) – 44m Private Motor Yacht
Location: Shipyard (USA) | Start Date: Within 2 weeks (flexible)
Contract: Full-time | Salary: DOE (in Euros) – Please include expectations in your cover letter
We are seeking a hands-on, hardworking, and resilient Bosun to join a 44m private motor yacht currently in shipyard. This is not a couple’s role and is only open to experienced candidates with verifiable references.
About the Vessel:
- Built in 2002 – this is an older yacht and we’re being upfront: she needs work.
- The boat has been docked and up for sale for some time and is now being brought back into readiness.
This role is not for someone looking for an easy ride. You’ll be expected to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in from day one. The workload is high and the vessel is dry (no alcohol on board). A calm, level-headed personality and positive attitude are essential.
Ideal Candidate:
- Yachtmaster Offshore and AEC preferred
- Proven experience as Bosun on similar-sized vessels
- Strong tender driving and maintenance skills are a must
- Must be highly capable with tools and eager to troubleshoot across various systems onboard
- Physically fit and ideally into fitness – someone who takes pride in maintaining themselves and their environment
- Willingness to take on a project boat and see it through with dedication and grit
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to step into a real, hands-on role with responsibility, variety, and challenge.
To Apply:
Please send your CV, references, and a cover letter including your salary expectations and how you would contribute to a yacht undergoing a high-maintenance period.
