TYS Recruitment is looking for a First Mate to join a 123ft private motor yacht.
- Start Date: ASAP
- Joining Location: Fort Lauderdale
- Salary: 90 – 100k per year DOE
- Leave: TBD in interview
- Health Insurance: Covered
- Visas: US Passport/Green Card
- Vessel Flag: USA
- Certifications: STCW, Seafarer's Medical Certificate, 100ton USCG
- Male or Female
The ideal candidate will have five years of experience working on similar-sized vessels. You should have in-depth knowledge of all bridge, navigation, and deck procedures and be able to teach the crew repair and maintenance skills. You should also understand safety procedures, have fantastic managerial skills, and be a strong leader, as you will be the captain's right-hand man. Knowledge of Bahamian waters and fishing skills are a huge plus.
This role would suit someone looking for a work/ life balance, as it is a non-live aboard position while the yacht is in Fort Lauderdale, so you must have your own accommodation. It is a family-run program so you should enjoy spending time with kids. As is a private program, confidentiality is extremely important to the owners.
The itinerary includes Florida and the Bahamas year-round.
