Contract start: ASAP

The candidate specification:

Bosun to join a prestigious, modern 55 meter private, dual-season yacht. This position has become available due to career progression of our current Bosun. The yacht has a history of longevity amongst crew and often travels off the beaten track for big-game Marlin fishing as a support yacht.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on, practical person, able to work harmoniously with the deck team. The crew is known for their easy-going personalities and strong work ethic, so we are seeking someone who can seamlessly integrate into this environment. The ability to cover navigational watches as OOW is of great benefit. Must be suitably knowledgeable to do so but not necessarily with an OOW ticket.

Note: This position requires a candidate with comprehensive deck operational and maintenance skills, product knowledge, organisational and leadership skills to successfully fulfil the outlined responsibilities. We are looking for a Bosun in the deck team NOT a 2nd Officer on the Bridge.

Qualification:

STCW ’95 Basic Safety Training, ENG1 (no restrictions), Discharge Book and RYA Yachtmaster Offshore. B1/B2 visa an advantage but not immediately required. Big-game fishing knowledge an advantage.

Male candidate only due to cabin arrangements.

USD 5,000 pm

42 days leave

90 day probation with review after

Comprehensive health insurance

Will be trained and mentored towards OOW status

Well-travelled yacht with ocean sea miles and plenty of Marlin fishing time in the Owner’s 70ft sportfish if you want it!!
