Summary

Private 50m northern European built motor yacht cruising Central America seeking a rotational Chief Officer.

New paint job & 5-year surveys completed, planning to spend next 2 years cruising remotely.

Chief Mate ticket with some progress towards Masters is ideal.

Mini-ISM, under 500GT, so plenty of time spent on deck training crew and doing operations. Not a desk job.

Previous C/O departed for first Captain's job after more than 2 years onboard.

Application window closes 17 March.
