wants 2 crew for Penniless, Beneteau 473, m.

From TBD, United Kingdom to , United Kingdom.

March 2023 to June 2023.

Hello and welcome aboard Penniless - An adventure sailing and diving yacht! We're seeking crew to sail from Panama to French Polynesia from mid-Marts to early June 2023 (or longer. The captain and co-captain are me (Filip, 65 y/o) and my daughter (Sofie, 27 y/o). We are both experienced sailors and SCUBA divers. Sofie's a PADI Divemaster, soon to be biologist and knows lots of marin animal fun facts. As passionate divers, be sure that the crew will be crabbing all the great diving opportunities we can get on the way. We have all the needed dive equipment on board to dive in the water right then and there. Even if you just want to snorkel or maybe go SUP boarding, we've got you covered. The itinerary is as follows: Around the 15th the crew arrives in Panama. Ideally we take off from Panama after a few days of prep. Then we sail to Galapagos arriving start April with as many stops on the way as we can. Then we're in Galapagos for 2-3 weeks and from there we sail across the Pacific to the Marquesas Islands (French Polynesia), the journey should take 3-4 weeks. We arrive on Nuku Hiva, where we take some days to shop and go on land. From Nuku Hiva we sail around Marquesas Islands until we sail down to Tahiti arriving in late May/early June. (The dates are loose except "Crew Arrival", and smaller changes may occur.) It's going to be fun and amazing and we can't wait! Best regards from Sofie and Filip. PS. The next leg of the trip is French Polynesia with focus on the Tuamotu Islands and diving; If you are interested in continuing onto the next leg of the trip please let us know when booking this part.

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 1): does not matter

What roles/experience are needed (Crew 2): does not matter

Cabins/Sleeping : shared cabin-own bunk

Crew roles: Have you never sailed before or are you highly experienced? Well you're in luck no matter what! We take on anyone as long as you're outgoing, curious and open-minded and ready for adventure. Of course you have to participate in normal day to day chores on the boat - like cooking and cleaning. Keep in mind that 2-4 days might be dedicated to maintenance since the boat is on a long journey from Europe to Australia, and all crew is expected to help throughout their part of this journey. Cool opportunities for crew: - For non-sailors, you'll be learning to sail by doing with the help from us and perhaps other experienced crew members. - For divers, all you need is to be a certified Open Water diver with proof of this and insurance covering SCUBA diving. - For snorklers who want to be better at free diving, Sofie has tips and tricks she'll happily share with you. - For all crew members, you'll learn safety and accident procedures and CPR (always great to know how to save a life, right?). Does this sound like something you're ready for, then we're ready to hear from you!
