*Looking for partner/s to run the boat and/or start a charter business
An adventurous lady with lots of shipboard experience is looking for the right captain/ partners to run business with. USA based due to my immigration status.
I am looking to run a low key charter yacht, with prospects to buy out, possible dual season, USA- Caribbean. Day sails, term charters, airbnb. I have years of hospitality experience and good knowledge of USA charter market to advance from working for someone to work for myself. If someone is looking for independent thinker and doer, the person with whom to grow and develop, I am your gal.
Looking for the aspiring similar minded captain and business partner/s to catch the unique opportunity of booming USA charter market.
The one who is passionate about to run his/her "own show", to create and follow own standards of safety and hospitality, set up own time to work on the boat and off the boat, we can optimize work life balance by hiring additional help. Fair division of power and profits. To run the business based on FAIR share of risk and gain. Division of the full responsibility by zones, helping each other as team
Preference of low key over luxury, informal over formal services, adventure over endless cleaning and maintenance, easy, relaxed guests over demanding clientele who expect all the world get around them. We can discuss the opportunities with right person, might run couple of charters together to check out compatibility and, most important, the goals and values compatibility.
I am an active, enthusiastic person with a great passion to travel, learn new skills, explore and discover unknown. I have a university degree in economics and management. Years ago I quit corporate career to change it to freedom of travel living and head off to the high seas to work for the cruise ships. I have more than 14 years of experience, including but not limited to interior and exterior boat care, provisioning and cooking, including crew, owners and charter guests, serving food and beverages, assisting the captain in sailing, navigation, docking, day and night watch keeping, repair and maintenance. I am able to plan, organize and run interior fully autonomously, and make decisions to get the work done to fulfil the best guest experience. I am looking for advancement of my skipper skills and looking forward to partner who are indeed happy to mentor and develop my skipper skills and not feeling like I am a competitor.
Seeking the opportunities into a small yacht that provides more personalized atmosphere, I volunteered on a private 42-foot expedition catamaran solo with a captain, where I was leaning the boating, the experience was great. My second boat was 58 foot Beneteau Oceanis /Baja Bash passage/. The third one, 68-foot S/y Simple Harmony was a truly memorable. We maintained the boat, took a good care of it with the captain as our home. We sail her From New Port, RI down to Saint Barthelemy, than it was chartered for BVI-USVI.
Last 4 seasons I successfully run a 60-foot sailing charter boat as a 1st Mate solo with the captain. We hosted at about 300+ guests each season with lots of positive guests' reviews. The prospects of developing a boat business are very promising. I am looking to start my own business with
right partner/s. Also I am open to run the boat /private or charter/ or manage the property.
I believe life is full of great moments we create for yourself and others. We cannot acquire more or less of our time but can make the best of its quality.
I am positive, open minded, fun-loving, thoughtful, happy to learn, travel, explore and share. I am a mature, motivated, hard-working, responsible person who lives by "golden rule", who is going extra mile to make a difference.
Not looking for "romance" but right people to be compatible enough to share the space, values, visions, prospects, complement each other, and WORK and succeed in a great team.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Safe sailing!
