Description

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Rotational Captain to join a proven, professional program onboard a busy and well-run 45m Cayman-flagged motor yacht. This is a rare opportunity to step into a true 2:2 rotation alongside a young, switched-on Captain who has been onboard since the vessel’s build. After three successful years running full-time, he’s now introducing a rotational structure and is looking for a like-minded, long-term partner—not a stopgap. The yacht has been meticulously maintained since delivery, with all Class and Flag surveys recently passed without issue. She runs dual season (Med/Caribbean) with a well-balanced mix of owner usage and 4–5 weeks of charter annually. The program is active and structured—but not chaotic. This is not a rescue mission, and the team is looking for someone who can seamlessly slot in and support a high-functioning operation. The owner is Swiss, sharp, respectful, and generous—with a semi-professional sporting background, he appreciates teamwork, structure, and communication. There’s a firm emphasis on crew retention and cohesion, and the current HODs have been onboard since build, with the rest of the crew minimum two years longevity. You’ll find a tight-knit, motivated team, strong standards across the board, and a very supportive working environment.

Requirements

• Master 500GT (minimum) • Fluent English speaker • Excellent leadership skills, calm presence, and strong charter background • Comfortable working closely with the owner • Proactive communicator who values collaboration over ego • Previous experience on 45–55m vessels ideal • Familiar with Caribbean/Bahamas and Med cruising preferred • Excellent checkable references
