Description

We’re Mike and Kelly, an adventurous couple cruising aboard Maggie Ray, our Fountaine Pajot 44 catamaran. We picked up Maggie Ray in La Rochelle, France, and sailed her from La Rochelle down to the Mediterranean, where we’ve spent the season exploring France, Spain, Corsica, Sardinia, and Italy. We’re now preparing for one of the biggest adventures of our cruising life: crossing the Atlantic with the 2026 ARC from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. We are looking for an experienced offshore sailor to join us for the Atlantic crossing. This is not a coastal cruising opportunity—we are specifically looking for someone who has ocean passage experience and is comfortable with the realities of being offshore for an extended period of time. We’re looking for someone who can confidently participate in watch keeping, sail handling, navigation, and the day-to-day responsibilities of an ocean passage. Experience with overnight watches, changing weather conditions, heavy seas, and making decisions offshore is important. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is calm, responsible, adaptable, and works well as part of a small crew. We’re an easygoing couple who enjoy sailing, exploring new places, good food, and meeting people from around the world. We take safety seriously, but we also believe that life aboard should be enjoyable. Maggie Ray is our home, and we’re looking for someone who will respect the boat, contribute to keeping things running smoothly, and enjoy becoming part of the crew. The ARC will be a major adventure for all of us, and we’re hoping to find someone who is excited about the challenge of crossing an ocean—not simply looking for a way to get to the Caribbean. If you have genuine ocean-passage experience, enjoy being part of a team, and think an Atlantic crossing aboard Maggie Ray sounds like the kind of adventure you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you.
