**Looking for a Dynamic and Sporty Crew
I am seeking a dynamic and sporty crew member experienced in kitesurfing and/or diving, including freediving. Onboard, you will have your own cabin, complete with a private bathroom and toilet. We will foster a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Tasks will be shared equally so that no crew member is solely responsible for cleaning or cooking, creating a true sailing team spirit.
Our sailing will be flexible, exploring the islands based on the weather and our desires, with no predetermined itinerary between Kadavu Island and the Yasawa Islands. Camaraderie will be essential. Friends will join us for a few consecutive weeks, and I am only taking one or two crews members. I will cover all costs related to accommodation, foods and activities, and I appreciate that good vibes prevail, avoiding minor dramas. My English is still basic, so an English-speaking crew member would be ideal to help me improve.
I will pick you up at Nadi airport and return you there at the end of your stay. If this adventure excites you, I would be happy to discuss it. I look forward to hearing from you! 🌊🏄‍♀

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The yacht is made of carbon and Kevlar. It was completely refit in 2016. In 2020 and 2023, we updated the boat again. I have been sailing around the planet for nearly 10 years now. The yacht is fast and safe, making it very enjoyable to be at the helm under sail in Fiji. I am familiar with the sailing area of Fiji, having navigated in this region for three years. The boat is spacious and comfortable, allowing us to explore the islands at our own pace. As a professional 200 Sailing Captain, I would be happy to share my knowledge of navigation with you.
