We are looking for charter skippers to join our team for 2024 running skippered & crewed charters and flotillas in the Ionian Sea. The charter captain job will take you sailing around the stunning North and South Ionian Sea, stopping off in different harbours every night.
Sail Ionian offer the best rates of pay and benefits in the area. We are a small, highly professional team. Our yachts are the best maintained in the Ionian and we offer on the job training opportunities to help your career progression. Apply today and work for the best!
Our skippered charters take place on our luxury yachts, either monohulls or catamarans, typically over 45 foot and fully air conditioned. Additionally at times you will work on the quay helping with the preparation and checking of yachts.
We maintain the highest standards in all aspects of our operations starting with maintenance and cleanliness of our yachts. As one of our selected charter skippers, you will provide charters to a high standard and we will support the development of your sailing and interpersonal skills to achieve these goals. Progression is important for all skippers and we actively encourage development in relevant areas.
We are looking for all levels of yacht skipper from those newly qualified to those with extensive experience. The level of experience will dictate the income level. We have full time permanent, and 3 month contracts available (all can be negotiable).
Being a charter yacht skipper at Sail Ionian is both challenging and rewarding and involves plenty of opportunities for progression.
The RYA Cruising Instructor job also includes being an assisted skipper for both informal training and skippered charters on some of the more luxurious yachts. You will be delivering Competent Crew, Day Skipper and ICC assessments but we will endeavor to vary the routine so there is good opportunity to sail more informally as well.
When not teaching RYA courses, CIs will be required to go out on Skippered Charters on yachts between 32 and 57 ft. We also have catamarans. Some weeks you may be shore based, this involves carrying out skipper checks on yachts that are not on charter and various other tasks including mooring practice with guests and assisted sailing.
Your working week in the summer months will be 6 days a week, at times when on charter you may be on the water for longer period, the company policy with skippers is where possible they have a shore based week each month where they can also take accrued days in lieu.
We are looking for outgoing individuals with high personal standards and fantastic customer service skills. A professional appearance and attitude is essential. A good understanding of boat systems and maintenance is preferred but not essential.
