Luxury Yacht Charter Roles

Shorebased Deckhand

We are seeking an exceptionally motivated and highly versatile team player to join the crew of our elite fleet as a Deckhand for our Luxury Yacht Charters. This role requires a unique blend of nautical experience, meticulous attention to detail, a commitment to world-class hospitality, and a proactive willingness to support all areas of our operations.

Your primary function will be to maintain the exterior and interior of our fleet to pristine, charter-ready standards—including washing, polishing, detailing, teak care, and stainless steel maintenance. However, we value crew members who go above and beyond.

We are specifically looking for a professional who will be happy to assist and gain experience in other vital areas of the business, which include:

• Deck Operations & Perfection: Performing line handling, mooring, and ensuring the vessel is immaculate at all times. Ensuring the Interior is of first-class standard.
• Guest Service: Deliver gracious, attentive service to guests and assist with other customer activities.
• The Wider Fleet: Providing support for the company fleet, including our self-drive boats.
  This means assisting with quick and efficient cleaning and turnover, fuelling, and maintenance checks of smaller vessels between client charters, ensuring they are always presented perfectly. Supporting the delivery of safety briefings to ensure our customers have a safe and enjoyable trip.

What We're Looking For:

• Age: Must be 18+ and legally eligible to work in Cyprus/EU
• Adaptability & Proactivity: You anticipate needs and are eager to step into any role—whether polishing stainless steel or preparing a smaller vessel for its next renter.
• Professional Presentation: A smart appearance and composed character are required at all times.
• Nautical Experience: Proven experience on motor or sailing yachts. Formal maritime qualifications are a plus (e.g., STCW).
• Discretion & Trust: Absolute respect for client privacy and confidentiality is non-negotiable.
