Captain - Temporary / Seasonal - Min exp 3 years - €5700 /month - Greece
Skipper and boat manager- Join the SailTime Charters team in Greece!
Wouldn't you rather be sailing on the same well maintained 51 feet sailboat all season, have your own skipper cabin and a steady employment (salary offered for days of non charter as well) instead of having to search for a temporary 7 day job on different charter sailboats each week?
SailTime Charters isn't for everybody. If you hate adapting, playing by the rules or possible extra tasks as boat manager, then we're probably not for you. But if you are an enthusiast skipper and you'd like to use your people skills and happy to go the extra mile to make your passengers happy ( and not for convincing a different charter company to use your services next week) then you need to apply.
Bonus for excellent performers.
