Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am sailing around the world in my 2023, 44-foot catamaran over the next several years. I will visit many remote and exotic locations. I need crew for many of the offshore legs. Come join the adventure!
In 2024 I sailed the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, and the Caribbean Basin including St. Maartin, the French Islands, Grenada, Trinidad, Curacao, Bonaire, Mexico and Cuba.
Starting March 2025, we will visit the San Blas Islands, and then transit the Panama Canal and start the Pacific side of Central America and Mexico.
Depending on the voyage, there will be two or three people on board. I am looking for adventure-minded people who desire great memories!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat is a 2023 Maverick 440 Catamaran built in Cape Town, South Africa. I am Owner/Captain and sailed the boat from the factory to the US (7700 miles, 7 weeks) and have now a total of 15,000 miles on the boat. I have over 40 years experience as an offshore sailor, racer and cruiser.

I am looking for somebody passionate about sailing, and who would share in the duties onboard. I tend to prefer healthy cooking and enjoy a variety of foods, and would like the same in my crew. Looking for somebody active and fit and comfortable working on deck. I can manage most sailing tasks myself, so this is a good boat if you are looking for sea experience and building your skills.
