Summary
We are seeking an experienced Chase Boat Skipper / Deckhand to join a private motor yacht. The ideal candidate will hold a Yachtmaster Offshore certification with at least 2 years of solid experience, including experience in high-speed boat handling.
Key Requirements:
- Proven experience operating speedboats – The chase boat is a 42ft hard hull with inboard racing Mercury engines, capable of 70+ knots.
- Exceptional high-speed handling skills and the ability to maneuver confidently in challenging conditions (no joystick).
- Strong passage planning abilities – The chase boat is not towed, so you must be self-sufficient at sea.
- Basic engineering knowledge to troubleshoot and resolve issues while underway.
- Flexibility to work on deck when the chase boat is not in use.
Position Details:
- Seasonal contract starting ASAP until late October, with the potential to transition into a permanent role for the right candidate.
- Competitive package with additional benefits when it becomes permanent (discussed during the interview).
If interested, please take the time to redact an honest cover letter with your own words not AI ;-)
GOOD LUCK.
