NOTICES for Boats and Crew opportunities

I’m currently servicing my boat in the Caribbean island of Martinique, before I head North in April’25 to the Cayman Islands.

Then in May’25 I will be sailing up the East Coast of the USA to Chesapeake Bay.


I’ve sailed about 85000nm over thirty years, both professionally and now recreationally.

During this time I sailed around various countries in Asia, Australia. Africa, Australia and the Americas.

Since 2016, I have lived onboard my boat Salacia, first together with my dog Henry and now with my dog Buoy.

I enjoy sailing with friends and single handed.

Gradually sailing South from Scotland to Europe and Gran Canaria, in 2024 I crossed the Atlantic to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.

Dates are approximate. Looking for crew familiar with the transit of the East River, in NYC, from the Battery to the Long Island Sound (Hell Gate)

Seeking a crew for 24/7 sailing on 3 hr shifts. Prefer those with experience in offshore cruising and night shifts. All food will be provided on board. My wife and I will have the owner's cabin and looking for 3 crew members. No hot bedding but two will share one cabin. Scheduled to leave from Port of Islands Marina just south of Marco Island on May 1st, weather permitting. We will pick you up from Fort Myers Airport, about a 1hr 15m drive. Anticipate a stopover for two full days in Turks Caicos, refuel and provision, enjoy a beach then on to St Thomas. It is anticipated to arrive on or before the 14th. You will have a max of two nights on Dauntless in St Thomas after arrival. Time permitting, we may option to stop over in San Juan Puerto Rico. Passports a MUST.

Looking for able-bodied sailor or deck hand and helmsman for an approximate 4-day cruise from Cape Fear to Cape Cod on this Hanse 588... anticipate a total crew of 4 including the captain. (Which we already have).
Captain provides meals and drinks while on board. Prefer those that have offshore, overnight experience at the helm. Formal training either via the ASA schools or RYA also preferred. Each crewmember has their own cabin. Per diem offered with limited travel budget.

NOTE- our two 52' cats are full. Looking to get a 3rd boat. Reach out if this trip interests you.
Spend a week discovering the gorgeous Balearic Islands of Spain. We visit (in no particular order) Cabrera, Mahon, capital of Menorca, Fornells, Ciutadella, Poroto Colom on Palma.
Stop for swimming and break out the water toys each day. Discover and wander the small towns in the afternoon and group dinners each evening. Breakfasts and lunches are prepared and included in the pricing along with a welcome dinner.

My wife and I will have the owner's cabin and looking for 3 crew members. No hot bedding but two will share one cabin.

I am seeking expression of interest from competent crews to sail the Bay of Bothnia, Åland to Umeå, Sweden 2025.
You will be sailing on a Mariner36 Mast rigged Sloop built in the US 1980, she is well fitted out and has comfortable space for 3 persons with each person his/hers own bunk. The language spoken on the yacht is English. I intend to start the second leg of the sail 20th July and end 9th August. The sail will take us through the archipelago of the Swedish High Coast.
We are eating well onboard, a varied diet of fish, meat and fowls together with vegetable and salads.
We will be using a mixture of anchorages, pontoons in nature harbors and marinas. Marinas mainly for provisioning.
This is a mixture of sailing and exploring the Swedish archipelago at its best.
A successful crew will be required to have a face to face contact before agreeing to crew.

EXPLORE DREAMS in GREECE

NOTE- only one share with male available on the 3rd boat. 24 crew are signed up. If you have a group get in touch, and we can set up a fourth boat.
The Saronic Gulf is located between Athens and the coast of the Argolid Peninsula. This area is highly recommended for it’s proximity to Athens, making it an ideal spot for travelers arriving via the Athens International Airport. Within a few hours of landing, you can be swimming and relaxing on board, having reached your first destination. Another advantage is that the area is well protected from the annual Meltemi winds, which can blow strongly in July and August and can create challenging conditions.

This trip has become a favorite sailing destination for Joyride Charters. We've done it numerous times!. Sailing from Alimos Marina (Athens) is a perfect way to discover the Saronic islands. We visit the lovely islands of Aegina, Dokos, Poros, Spetses, and Hydra, including Ermioni and Epidaurus on the Peloponnese.

Explore each stop with an e-bike or 4-wheeler (extra charge) or your two feet!

Each day we make time for swim stops, sailing, and getting quayside early enough for you to explore the quaint seaside towns, shop, and we’ll dine as a group in some of the best restaurants in the world! Sit along a seaside cliff restaurant and watch a beautiful sunset.

Includes all breakfasts and lunches. Fresh bread and greek baked goods delivered each day! Enjoy dining together at local authentic tavernas.

Our large catamaran has plenty of space and all the modern conveniences. All cabins are private doubles with private heads.
