Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Sailing community with children promoting and producing film content.
We are currently cruising the Pacific coast of Costa Rica for another months and will then sail to Colombia, then Panama and eventually onwards to Brazil.
This is NOT your regular cruise!
We are a community vessel for Earth lovers with several children (baby and teens) and we operate conservation and freedom related projects and create film content. (participants need to be ok to be filmed).
Everyone aboard is treated as crew and family and is expected to do their fair share of cooking, cleaning, upkeep maintenance, steering and sail handling. These tasks are not considered 'work' but rather are an integral part of the lifestyle.
Shorter term participants are required to cover their cost for (vegan) food, fuel and more of a minimum of 50 Euro per day per person. We offer work trade opportunities for skilled and motivated participant’s that stay long term and are productive. Areas we need help with are project management, marketing and outreach, social media, content creation, film editing, camera, teaching and child care, housekeeping, ship related works and cooking. Please talk to us to discuss your options.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery spaciouslive on little moneyshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamface challengeslive off the gridmulticultural

The yacht is a 120 ft Ketch equipped for world-wide cruising and has sailed to all continents and countless islands in between with an average of 16 people including children.

The living quarters are designed to host diverse groups of people in spacious private single or double cabins. Communal spaces include a spacious saloon, galley with pizza oven, dance floor, library, workshop and lots of deck space. We share 2 showers and 2 toilets. For shore runs and excursions we enjoy our large powerful panga, a sailing dinghy and diving equipment.

Our community includes children and a multicultural team with a passion for film making and the environment.

The boat is a community. We depend on each other for safety and for fun. Everyone is required to participate with cooking, cleaning, maintenance, watch-keeping, raising sails and more. We will offer training in all areas so that you will feel confident. Food is vegan! Strictly no fish and no meat!
Be aware that communal life together requires a high level of energy.
We value teamwork, open communication, family vibe, sense of humour and a positive attitude.
