Sounds like a great opportunity for someone who has no boat.

Hello captain. I live over on Merritt Island and have been sailing and boating over the past 30+ years. I am 62, in good health, have done some deliveries and cruising in Chesapeake, Florida, Bahamas and Virgin Islands over the years. I currently own a Colombia 8.7 and sail the ICW and near-shore Cape Canaveral. I am very able, interested in meeting people and, importantly, very flexible. Send me a PM if you are interested and maybe we can set up a time to chat and see where things go.

Hello Rock,
I relocated to SW FL 2 yrs ago from KW FL where I lived, sailed, and maintained a 29 ft sloop. I am currently working PT but will be available FT after 1/1/19. In the meantime I am available afternoons and weekends for repairs and shakedowns. My wife is also an ablebodied sea person and may be available at times. Here is my contact info and I will try to attach my sailing resume.

Hello Shadow,
I am Paolo, an italian guy who likes to travel. I'd like to try a boat experience since I'm a goal-oriented person, eager to learn the sail. My intention was never to travel for free, I volunteer my time to help the crew with their works. I would learn the sailing and offer my support in exchange for helping, taking a guard duty, cooking, cleaning and boat maintenance. I do not drink or smoke, but I don't mind others doing so. I can cook italian food and teach you italian or just entertain you with my stories. I have never sailed, I don't know the basics but I learn fast. I'm currently in Miami and I'm trying a sailing chance for Caribbean or anywhere.
I'd like to join the crew and I'm happy to offer my energy services as a sidekick deckhand.
I should be so grateful to him if you could give me this fresh experience.
Thank you all in advance!

i really want to learn how to operate a boat and become a crew member.

Hi Rock-
I have a lot of experience on the water and built sailboats for Sabre a couple decades back. I’m looking to get back on the water after the holidays. I’ve been doing Caribbean deliveries more recently and taking boats down the rivers from Lake Michigan to the Gulf. I’m up north now but plan to be back in SW Fla sometime in November. Would like to meet up if you are interested. You can reach me at 239) 572-4661
