Sail Ionian are looking to expand their team of marine engineers for the 2027 season. The maintenance and appearance of our yachts is of great importance. Therefore our engineering team is a vital part of the company. Our reputation as the leading charter company in the Ionian hinges on guest satisfaction and our engineers ensure that everything on a yacht is kept in top condition.
As a dealer for Bavaria we stock an entire warehouse of spare parts, this not only makes sure all the equipment on the yacht works but makes the job easier and more enjoyable. We like to see our engineers take pride in their job and in their yachts. Find out more about our company here.
In short, yacht engineering is a very varied role including everything from engine maintenance, electrical and plumbing to fibreglass work. Similarly our charter fleet is varied and consists of yachts from 30 feet - 56 feet including catamarans. In addition, our engineers are also responsible for our fleet of three fast RIBs, an RYA Powerboat qualification (or equivalent) is a strong advantage for this role.
Firstly, during the summer sailing season our engineering team is busiest on the day our guests arrive. Each yacht is thoroughly checked and any repairs made before the guests board. Once the yacht is out on charter the engineering team will take calls from guests with issues and if necessary go out on one of our three fast RIBs to the yacht and swiftly fix any problems. Secondly, over the winter months our team work in the nearby boat yard completing a full annual maintenance program on each yacht.
In conclusion, whether you have years of engineering experience or simply a passion for boats then why not apply for this fantastic opportunity.
