[ active ] Cape Town to Recife, Brazil South Africa to Brazil ref 15721

Nigel Lewis wants 1 crew for Musketeer of Cowes, Jeanneau 55, m.

From Cape Town, South Africa to Recife, Brazil.

January 2026 to February 2026.

We are part of the World Arc fleet circumnavigating the world and are looking for one additional crew member to do the Cape Town to Recife, Brazil leg (there may be options available for further legs as well). We leave Cape Town 10thJanuary 2026 and arrive in Recife mid-February visiting Walvis Bay, Namibia and St Helena Island on the way. As skipper/owner and with a 1st mate we have navigated coastal waters on our own, and with 1 or 2 crew members on longer legs who have wanted to experience the places we are travelling. Our crew have become part of our team and been fully involved in the life and operation of the boat. We are now well into the 2nd half of our circumnavigation having successfully completed the latest leg crossing the Indian Ocean from Darwin, Australia to Cape Town, South Africa. There is an opportunity for an experienced English speaker (important for boat communication) watch keeper/deck hand crew member. The crew member will need to be suitably qualified to keep solo watch at night and be familiar with modern boat systems. You will take part in all operations on the boat as well as cooking and cleaning alongside the rest of the team. We look forward to contact from suitably qualified individuals.
