Dear Shipmates,

Update; The boat is in the cyclone hole in Vuda Marina Fiji. Sailing again June 25..
Join a happy boat! Easy going broad minded skipper, the same preferred with the crew. Please read all my references scroll down below thanks. Expert maritime sailing tuition given if you ask questions! Crew can join for little to no money; the main thing is you must be easy to get along with, bring a nice vibe and skills to the boat. Deckhands to help to sail the boat and help with yoga and cooking! 😊
Drones, Guitars and Ukuleles most welcome! Looking for Travellers of the world with stories and knowledge about anything and everything😉😎

I sail my own yacht but also have worked as a professional delivery skipper with Australian and International Captain and Enginering qualifications. My experience with Findacrew began while sailing my yacht a 58ft ketch westward across the Pacific from Mexico in 2010 with stops at the Marqueasas, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu to Australian and the Great Barrier Reef on the way. Many crew have helped out please read my references, scroll down below.

A happy and harmonious crew is very important! Music being played is well liked aboard. Crew postions maybe available at anytime, please email to find out. I will need to see a photo of potential crew, it can be difficult to choose crew online from around the world! A picture tells a thousand words and I need all the help I can get! We can then video call or Facetime if possible. 😎🌴⛵️

Hi everyone hope you're well! I sailed around the Pacific as a child with my family and to be doing it again now is fabulous! The yacht is an American design, Australian crewed, British Registered ship, she is my 9th boat. I hold commercial maritime qualifications Yacht Master 200T, Master Class 5, MED 2 marine engineer. With teaching college also as a back ground much can be learned by crew who pay attention and ask questions! I also sailed around the western Pacific in my mid 20s and worked as a windsurfing instructor. We had seasons in Tahiti and 2 also in Fiji, running backpacker style sailing tuition tours. This boat is a large ocean going ketch with full safety gear; Liferaft, EPIRBs, Radar, Sonar, Sat Radios etc etc. A crew of 4 or 5 suit the boat, snorkelling, Surfing, fishing, yoga and BBQs etc. Nature, clean air and water with healthy living lifestyle is important to us aboard. We also enjoy the odd sundowner at sunset though! Ocean conservation is a passion! We will not be rushed like some boats and may have to wait for the right weather window to come along before we depart or at any stage along the voyage. This method is far safer, more enjoyable and promotes harmony and happiness aboard. If you're a stress head with a strict timetable, flights booked that can't be changed etc you need not apply. Please read my references and I hope to meet you soon on the ocean!

Fair winds and smooth seas 😎🌴

Light duties at anytime around 2 hours per day. 2-3 hours watch each night while on passage. All crew to help with cooking and cleaning at meal times if required. If you want to ask questions there will be much to learn. Eating basic healthy food is cheap! We all chip in at the beginning for a big food shop.
