Deck Hand and Stewardess couple
Requirement.
A Deckhand and Stewardess couple is required as crew for our 92ft Trehard sailing yacht.
The yacht will be based in the Western Mediterranean throughout the summer season and in the Caribbean during
winter 2010/11.
The deckhand must be qualified to at least RYA Coastal Skipper with Commercial Endorsement and Power Boat Level
2. Although no specific qualifications are required of the stewardess, she must be a competent sailor and already have
some basic hospitality experience. Some spoken French would be an asset and a willingness to learn French is
essential.
The successful applicants should be available to start work immediately in order to allow time for familiarisation and
training before sailing with the first charter guests at the end of May. They will be expected to be available to
work full time aboard the yacht.
The People.
Ideally aged in their twenties, candidates should have sailed together either as a hobby or professionally. They should
have a relaxed, easy-going nature and be capable of getting on with a wide variety of people. At the same time,
beneath their relaxed nature must be a strong work ethic, they must be willing to learn and should be prepared to go
to great lengths in order to ensure that their guests have the holiday of a lifetime. They should want to meet people
and find it rewarding to help others enjoy themselves.
Whilst aspects of the job can be very glamorous, the successful couple will be content to ‘get their hands dirty’ as they
will be responsible for the everyday cleaning and maintenance of the yacht. A basic understanding of marine engines
and electrics is preferred.
This position would suit those who would like to develop their careers in yachting, making the most of the opportunity
that joining a small but growing company can provide. Above all, they must be ready to work hard and have fun at
the same time.
The Company.
Dream Sailing Limited is a yacht charter specialist established in 2003. The company serves a growing market for
luxury, fully crewed yacht charters on both sailing and motor yachts in excess of 55ft.
Dream Sailing provides a friendly, approachable service from the client’s initial enquiry and throughout the delivery of
their holiday. The objective is to have delighted clients who become friends; “Nothing was too much trouble” is the
sentiment we like to hear them expressing! On this basis, we believe that the business will flourish naturally.
Company founders Alan and Michelle both quit successful careers in senior management several years ago in order to
change their lifestyle, and now live near to Port Grimaud on the Cote d’Azur. They crewed their first yacht,
DreamCatcher, through her first Mediterranean season and the business has grown rapidly from there. Matt and Trish
joined Dream Sailing in 2006 to crew DreamCatcher. They have since become part of the company management team
and now crew our larger yachts during the summer season.
