The successful candidate will have at least 2 years experience as Bosun or above and hold as a minimum their Offshore Yacht Master or AMSA Master V/24m . They must have experience standing a navigational watch, be confident to run the deck and have good tender driving skills.


The package includes a generous salary DOE, 38 days leave per year, time off in lieu if you work the weekends or public holidays, a flight allowance and medical insurance.

Candidates who apply via the YOA website have a greater chance of being interviewed.
