[ closed ] Captain needed for 2022 Mediterranean France to Spain ref 13319

wants 3 crew for Amajen, Fountaine Pajot , m.

From La Rochelle, France to Las Palmas, Spain.

June 2022 to September 2022.

My wife and I will accept delivery of a FP "New 51" sailing catamaran in June or July in La Rochelle, FR to replace our current FP Saona 47. Our plan is to sail the Med from July until September 2022 when we will sail south to Las Palmas to arrive mid October for the ARC+. My wife and I are both well experienced sailors with ARC and other Ocean experience, but we have never sailed the Med so we seek an experienced paid captain or even a couple with Med sailing experience to accompany us and various visiting friends and family this summer. I don't know the waters, the ports of call, customs, or the weather there, so even though we could learn, we have no desire to make the experience difficult for ourselves. It is possible, that if we find the right compatible person or couple, we would extend this job offer to include the ARC+. So, we are looking for this Captain or experienced sailing couple to join us in June or July in La Rochelle as we prepare the new boat, then sail until September or beyond. Compensation and benefits will be competitive and commensurate with experience with a completion bonus paid at the end of the sail. I am 60 years old and my wife is mid 50's. We are healthy and seasoned sailors, non-smokers, social drinkers who enjoy fine resorts, good food and good conversation. .
