Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hi, I am a Captain Yacht Master Offshore RYA (specialized in sailboats, but can also do motor yachts) and my wife is a Deckhand/Cook/Hostess. I had my own charter company for 7 years with a Bavaria 41 year 2003, offering sailing/whale&Dolphin watching and snorkeling trips, where i worked between 10 to 14 hours a day as a Captain/guide/engine maintainence/dry dock maintainance/office work meetings etc, and can do it all regarding running a sailing business.
We currently live in the Canary Islands aboard our Wauquiez Amphitrite 43f ketch 1980, which we have refitted and restored everything ourselves, fixed osmosis and delamination on the hull, worked epoxy resin with fiber, changed engines, rigged the masts, and everything else that can be done on a boat. We will possibly be sailing across the Atlantic this January 2025, but if we get caught up on time and are not ready for that date, then we would delay the Atlantic crossing for the end months of 2025 instead.
My wife and I are currently seeking a job together as Captain & Deckhand/Cook/Hostess, on a privately owned vessel, or a comercial tourist boat anywhere in the western side of the Atlantic, Caribbean, Bahamas, south or east USA, central America, Colombia Panama etc, or on the east side of the Atlantic, Mediterranean sea, or any other area where needed. We could either sail our own boat to the destination required to work at, or go by plane and leave our boat in our home port.
Thank you for your attention, and we hope we can work for you at some point in time.
