The recent crew opportunity I posted here has now been filled. Thank you for all the responses I received. However, for the future I also want to build a potential crew list for 2025. If you're a Premium Member and are able to message me, please send me your contact details. Cheers.

When aboard my boat in Greece please be assured that I do sail, and don't spend lengthy periods at anchor or in port. I try not to do any overnight sailing - about 85% of the nights we'll be in port and the other 15% at anchor. Depending on how long you are on board will dictate how many miles we sail, and places and islands that are visited. PLEASE READ MY REFERENCES, I'm an experienced sailor and you are in safe hands! I'm looking forward to hearing from you (please respond by WhatsApp or email if either of us are a Premium Members).

New to my profile since 2021 includes the opportunity to cruise aboard my narrowboat on the English waterways (there are about 2000 miles). My narrowboat is just 45ft long and has accommodation for myself plus one guest. The English waterways offer the opportunity to see England in a completely different way. I'll be aboard from late September to early May each year. The English winter from January through to late March is however not the best time for canal cruising!

Thanks for your interest.

My Moody 35ft Sloop (Shown at an anchorage in Croatia) has been based in Greece sine 2009 - crew members are needed from early May to late September each year. Joining would normally be at Nafplio or Poros with easy ferry or bus transfers from Athens International Airport.

My narrowboat is based in the East Midlands of the UK near the city of Derby. There are several airports in the vicinity, from which I could meet you in my car.

In the Mediterranean I coastal hop from one anchorage or port to another. My sailing is like an extended vacation - taking in the beauty and history of the places I am cruising and enjoying the anchorages, swimming, snorkelling (I have no dive equipment on board), bars, restaurants, etc. I also do plenty of walking ashore. This is relaxed and enjoyable cruising, but I need to share it with someone!

I am an experienced yachtsman and have sailed in many parts of the world aboard a variety of different sailboats, dinghies and windsurfers! I am more than happy to teach any aspect of sailing that a crew member requires – I hope that my many years of racing and cruising aboard sailboats, and from a career spent as an officer in the British Royal Navy will be of help, whilst improving your sailing skills and navigational skills.

Please be aware that I have zero tolerance with regard to illegal drugs, narcotics or any related substances (even if legal in the country of crew members). I also do not permit smoking of any type aboard my boat, even on deck. I will only accept completely non smoking crew members.

I very much enjoy meeting people from around the world with a range of different sailing and work experiences. I have few rules on board (just the normal things), but crew members must be non-smokers and non-drug takers, hopefully good company, have a flexible and relaxing attitude and enjoy the lifestyle of living aboard and cruising. Some sailing experience would be useful but definitely not essential.

We share costs whilst on board and getting yourself to and from the boat from your own location is your own responsibility - we would agree the most suitable place to join well in advance of you joining, depending on where I am, where you are and the most convenient airports and airlines. This is not a paid position and we would share costs, usually about €20 to €25 a day per person. I shall not be responsible for any of your travel costs to and from the boat, or if leaving the boat early for any reason, or for the costs associated with returning to your flight departure location. However it is always my intention to return you to your airport departure destination, or as close as possible to it.

After we are in touch or you become a Premium Member you will be able to see my websites - there is a special crew page that provides all the information you will need for preparing and whilst crewing aboard my boat.
