Ownership & Style

The owners are family sailors with a genuine enthusiasm for being involved onboard. They have a background sailing family yachts around the Boston /Bermuda areas, currently sail their own 28ft yacht, and have completed Caribbean bareboat charters. 

This is a relaxed, family -oriented program rather than a formal superyacht environment. While the owners expect excellent maintenance and professional standards in the upkeep and operation of the yacht, they specifically do not seek overly formal “silver service” hospitality.

Crew should be:

• Warm, approachable, and adaptable
  
• Comfortable working in a family -focused environment
  
• Happy encouraging owner and guest involvement onboard
  
• Low ego and team -oriented
  
• Professional without being overly rigid or formal
  

Chef / Interior Expectations

The family enjoys cooking and participating in the galley experience, so the ideal chef will be collaborative rather than overly protective of the kitchen. A flexible and personable approach is highly valued.

Candidate Profile

Suitable candidates will have:

• Strong sailing yacht experience, ideally on performance cruising yachts
  
• Experience with owner -operated or family -style programs
  
• Capability for both coastal and offshore cruising
  
• A positive, easy -going attitude and strong interpersonal skills
  
• Interest in a long -term cruising and rally program
  

The owners have no preference regarding gender, tattoos, or traditional yachting formality, prioritising personality fit and professionalism above all else.
