Deckhand - Temporary / Seasonal - $0.00 - Grenada
Currently in Grenada. Going up the Windwards and Leewards. Final destination this season? St Croix?
Prefer experience with a wooden ship/full keel sailing ketch but, as there are not a lot of those out there...just verified sailing experience on sailboats 20m and above. (She's 27 meters.) Experience on older vessels preferred since everything is manual.
Great attitude, great cook, willing to learn, all good attributes but not a persuasive argument. This is not a training boat, this is a sailing ship! It requires advanced sailing abilities and understanding. It is ketch rigged and did I mention ALL manual which requires real experience. (The only thing not manual on her are the anchor winch (hydraulic) and steering (hydraulic) and autopilot. She can run up to 5 sails with all sheets handled on deck.
And although very, very spacious and comfortable, she is still a Sailing Ship. Do not expect gourmet meals or hot showers everyday.
Watermaker, full electric galley, generator and inverter, Starlink for weather updates (limited personal communication), interior cockpit. Smoking ship except in cabin areas and engine room.
Opportunity to stay onboard as we sail up the coast to the Windward/Leewards and build our charter business. (Not a party boat. Charters will be limited to a maximum of 12 guests.) Potential for paid position 30 days after start if both parties are good with each other.
First 30 days room and board provided. After 30 days some contribution to provisions expected. Non restricted diets only. Watermaker, full electric galley, generator and inverter, Starlink for weather updates (limited personal communication), interior cockpit.
Expected duties, helming, watch keeping, shared cooking, shared cleaning inside and out, stainless, bright work (and all that goes with maintaining a wooden ship) sail plan changes (hoisting, trimming, stowing sails).
She's one of a kind in the Caribbean. Gulets (which she is) can't cross the Atlantic. We did. Our Belle Ayaz is our home and for the right crew member she can be yours too.
