From July - November you will sail the beautiful Greek Islands as part of a flotilla lead crew, learning new skills along the way. You will maintain your fleet of 10-11 yachts with the support of our Shore-based crew whilst living aboard your own yacht. March and April are spent refitting the fleet, we are the only company that teaches our staff to refit yachts which gives employees hugely valuable experience within the industry.

Mechanics/engineers are employed largely for their trade skills but personality is also very important. We look for people who are approachable and easy-going. It is important our clients feel that they can come to you whenever they have problems with their boat.

You will need to be able to work as a part of a team assisting your skipper and host. The ability to communicate well with all ages and people from all walks of life (including both clients and staff) is another important attribute.
