This is a rare chance to step into a key position from build stage, shaping onboard systems and deck operations from the outset on a dual-season, adventurous program. • Join the vessel during the final build phase, spending the first two months in the shipyard overseeing setup and preparation. • Lead the development of onboard systems including mini ISM, safety manuals, and operational procedures. • Take responsibility for navigational management including passage planning and chart corrections. • Manage deck setup, storage planning, and sourcing of tools and equipment. • Oversee deck operations and lead by example within a small team. • Private program initially, with plans to transition into private/charter in the future. • Dual-season cruising with upcoming itinerary including the UK, Norwegian fjords, and potentially the Baltic. • Start date: ASAP or within the next two weeks (flexible for the right candidate). • Male candidates only due to cabin arrangements. What we’re looking for: • Yachtmaster Offshore minimum (essential). • OOW or working towards OOW preferred, but not essential. • Around 4 years’ experience on yachts of a similar size. • Previous Chief Officer experience preferred; strong Second Officer candidates considered. • Solid navigational knowledge with proven experience in passage planning and chart work. • Organised, proactive, and switched-on approach with the ability to take ownership of systems and setup. • Hands-on leader comfortable working across both bridge and deck operations. What’s on offer: • Salary: 5000 – 5500 Euros DOE. • Leave: 60 days per year. • Opportunity to join a brand-new Dutch build and play a key role in setting up the vessel. • Exciting, off-the-beaten-track itinerary with exploration-focused owners. • Supportive, personable owners with a genuine interest in crew and program. • Long-term potential as the vessel transitions into a private/charter program.
