46' cat from Virgin Islands to Florida in mid-Dec

Looking for a 3rd hand on catamaran delivery from the US Virgin Islands to Ft. Lauderdale, planned departure December 16th, weather allowing. MUST travel/board no later than the 14th. A US PASSPORT is mandatory. Some verifiable SAILING experience is required, and offshore experience strongly preferred. You must be comfortable standing a solo watch, and experience on night watch is a big plus. Position is best suited for someone newly credentialed, or an experienced amateur. Personality and demeanor are often more important than experience, so please no "high-intensity" thrill-seekers or rockstars. Need calm, collected, intelligent crew able to listen carefully and follow directions.

She’s a 47’ catamaran built in 2022, well-equipped for offshore passages with the appropriate safety equipment. All crew/work responsibilities shared. You will have a private bunk & head. We’ll run on a non-stop, rotating watch schedule. No smoking, vaping, or alcohol while underway. You can expect the trip to last between 7 to 9 calendar days, longer if there are weather delays. Boat pays for provisions. Pay depends on experience. Travel might be covered, depending on your location.

This is a professional delivery, so there are no planned stops for island-hopping, snorkeling, fishing, diving, surfing, etc… Please send A PRIVATE MESSAGE and tell me about yourself, your background, experience, and confirm that you’re OK with possibly being on a boat for Christmas. Thank you.

Winston
I would love to join you on this trip. I am working towards owning my own Catamaran and looking to gain experience. I completed over 100 hrs of sailing this year with 26 hours of overnight on the Cheasapeake River. I was scheduled to complete my ASA 104 until the instructor got sick at the last min. I am not looking for a paid position as the experience is what I want. Experience is on 30-34' monohaul and Catamarans. Starting in Jan I will be the River Commodore for the Pentagon Sailing Club. I am located near Washington DC. I would like to discuss further. Will send you a DM.

Which airport are you flying into the USVI?
Thank you, Charles
