Captain - Temporary / Seasonal - Italy
I am seeking an experienced and professional captain to skipper my 52’ Grand Soleil (1990) (Spaghetti Swan) during the summer Mediterranean season. The yacht will be based in Capo d’Orlando, Sicily, which will be the primary departure point for weekly cruising.
This is a private, owner-operated program. You will be sailing with me and my wife, along with friends and family rotating weekly. Cruising will be relaxed and enjoyable, with itineraries shaped by weather and preference, primarily around Sicily and the Aeolian Islands, and occasionally Malta.
The ideal candidate is confident, safety-focused, and comfortable in an owner-aboard environment, with strong Mediterranean experience and good interpersonal skills.
The preference is for one captain to cover the full period (approx. June 28 – August 22). However, candidates available for part of the season may also apply—please specify availability.
Compensation will be aligned with current market standards for a private sailing yacht of this size and cruising style, to be agreed in advance. Please include daily rate expectations when applying.
This position may suit someone interested in an ongoing seasonal arrangement beyond this summer.
