Summary

Captain Position – 132’ Private & Charter M/Y

Seeking an experienced Captain to take the helm as it completes a major refit. The vessel operates a West Coast itinerary, including Alaska charters, and has been upgraded with a large fishing cockpit, fighting chair, and outriggers.

Open to couples with a suitable partner (Chef or Chief Stew).

Responsibilities:

  • Oversee safe vessel operations, navigation, and itinerary planning
  • Manage charter operations, ensuring high-quality guest experiences
  • Work alongside the engineer to troubleshoot and assist with maintenance
  • Complete final refit stages and prepare the yacht for charter service
  • Lead and manage a professional crew, fostering a strong team environment
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and maintain all certifications
  • Maintain excellent owner and guest relations

Requirements:

  • MCA 500 or 500USGT license
  • Proven charter experience with a successful track record
  • Extensive West Coast cruising knowledge of the region
  • Strong mechanical understanding and problem-solving skills
  • Experience overseeing refits and vessel preparation
  • Excellent leadership and crew management skills
  • While not required, a passion for fishing would be a bonus for this program
  • Strong, verifiable references required


Please apply with your current location and availability, thank you.
