We have a sailing yacht for private use and paid charters. Private use may be in Florida while paid charters will be primarily in the Bahamas. A crew will be hired for the December to May cruising with charters in the Bahamas.

For the June to November period, I am looking for volunteer sailing enthusiasts to help with pleasure trips around Ponce Inlet Florida (near Daytona) and possible longer trips to other parts of Florida including Ft Pierce, Lauderdale, Key Biscane/Miami, the Dry Tortugas and Naples.

For those with skills, I will consider letting you stay aboard in Ponce Inlet, Florida. Skills also help with employment for any of the paid positions December to May.

First, being a skilled captain or chef is the top of the list.
Can you keep the yacht cleaned and polished? Can you do light carpentry and make shelves? Can you change the oil for engine maintenance?
Can you help with electrical or plumbing?
Are you a diver who can clean the bottom?
Can you keep the boat polished and clean?

Then for leisure activites:
Can you help with water skiing and paddle boarding?
Are you a trained diver or experienced with snorkling?
Are you a trained or experienced masseuse?
Are you an excellent swimmer?
Are you skilled at other athletic activities?

Are there other talents you can contribute?

Live aboard in exchange for maintenance and crewing for occasional day sails or longer sails with my guests. We can also consider those who can help sail and pilot the yacht for just the duration of trips in Florida, some day trips and some longer.

Please let me know if you are interested in volunteer positions, paid crew, or both.

We have a wonderfully equipped vessel, complete with water toys and a water skiing capable behind tender. The yacht is near Daytona Beach, and a great place for recreation. Drug free only. Party at the dock and no alcohol under sail.

The boat is very well done and should be a joy to sail.

The crew should maintain the vessel in excellent condition and attend to passengers safety, dining, and recreational requirements. Piloting the boat, bare tending skills, musical talent, swiming skills, mechanical skills and even masseuse skills can enhance the trip for passengers. All crew should be ready to help as needed.
