Summary

We are looking for a Rotational C/O to start towards the end of February,

The vessel is currently undergoing a sizeable refit period in Italy until April. As such, we are looking for a candidate who is a self-starter with solid yard experience to get stuck in during this busy period. Over the next few months, responsibilities will include overseeing the refit, managing the crew, and ensuring the vessel is ready for the upcoming Med season. Following the yard period, we will enter the Med season, available for Charter and Private use.

Onboard, we operate as a close-knit team of 18 crew members, plus a Chase Boat. 

We seek a seasoned Chief Officer between the ages of 28 and 35 with 3+ years of commercially run 60m+ yachts and Charter experience. The candidate should have excellent references and proven longevity. 

The ideal candidate will be confident in the role of Chief Officer, have excellent time management skills, streamlined organisational skills, and have a keen willingness to get involved - This is not a desk-based role. You will have a vast knowledge of ISM and the safe running of a vessel. Furthermore, have experience running shipyards & refit periods. No ego, easygoing and maturity are personal characteristics we would like to be instilled in the potential candidate. It would be advantageous to have in-depth knowledge of IDEA, Pin Point and Voly Accounting systems.
