Full-Time Captain - 37meter - Private
Summer - Northeast USA
Winter - South Florida/Bahamas
We are looking for an outgoing and driven captain to join a busy private program and ultimately become a long-term captain for wonderful owners.
Summer plans involve heavy owner usage in the Northeast (New York, Newport, Hamptons, Maine etc.). Owners love to use the water toys, so there is a mix of anchorage and docking.
Winter is a slow season (1-2 weeks of possible owner usage). During the winter the home port is Miami.
The future goal is to become commercial compliant and offer the vessel for charter during the winter in the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
The owners are at the stage of their ownership where they are ready to see new places (kids are now in college).
This is a great program for sea-time. We are considering well-experienced Chief Officers who are looking to step up.
*Couples Opportunity* There will soon be an interior position open onboard, strong couples welcome!
