Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Aloha! Hi!

From Recife (Brazil) to Suriname.

We are traveling around the world on our Catamaran, a Lagoon 450 and now we are in Brazil. Departure is planning in Recife, Brazil in December 2024 - first days of Jan 2025.

We have available space for 2-3 experienced crew members.

"Experience as competent crew" ; such as experience on a Bareboat as a Captain; night watch experience; licenses (depending on your country) - are all a serious plus, but not mandatory.

We plan on 3 watches. During your watch, we expect you to be on the "Watch" . And not full time head down watching videos, etc.

We do fishing on the way, so some nice fresh fish dinners are in the program if the ocean will allow us))

We have sailed from Greece in 2019 around the world one time, then we began our 2nd circumnavigation that started in South Africa. We are now in Brazil.
We are living full time on the boat for years and this is our Home, with its "million" of rules. We are always up for an improvement, but it is not a delivery of an empty “Bareboat”, as an example.

We are not a racing or motor yacht. So if you are a racer, the speed can be lower than you are used to. We are not in a "hurry" unless the weather will change our plans. Sailing for us is an enjoyable process. We are not trying to deliver the boat from point A to point B as quickly as possible.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

very safevessel is survey certifiedvery spaciousshare experiencelearn a languagemulticultural

We are not looking for Paid crew or a delivery crew(work)!!!
Crew provides own food and beverages.

Any crew of many is a balance of ages, skills, physical abilities, personalities, and cultures. Because of my age, a person with physical strength and agility, who is able to go forward in tough seas, maybe up the mast (remote possibility), or even under the boat (if we pick up a fishing line in the Propeller, as an example), is a plus.

We are looking for comfortable atmosphere on the boat, so that's important that we find a common language before leaving the land and are on the same page about expectations and plans...
We will be happy to answer any and all of your questions.
Thanks for looking.
