Full-Time Mate/Engineer Jobs on Private in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

I am looking for a Captain/Engineer. This is a Permanent position. This job starts ASAP. The position is in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA. Candidate must have one of the given visa(s): B1. The salary for this opportunity depends on experience. This is a United States flagged private vessel that is 0' to 79' (0 to 24 meters) in length.

Here are the qualifications needed for this job opening: Take pride in keeping a classic steel expedition boat near Bristol. Manage a budget. Pick out of the way places to explore. Devoid of crew or charter nonsense .
This is the likely itinerary for this vessel: Summer: South Florida, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos - Sag Harbor Winter: puerto rico/Windward Islands and South Florida.

Seeking Captain with a strong engineering background and affinity for systems to run a private program. Owner is a single mathematician: no pets, no kids yet and owner is eager to help when needed/asked to help as he spent over a decade working on boats from Nantucket to Natal and understands when we’ll intentioned help isn’t needed. The vessel went through an extensive and close to 3-year refit at Front Street Shipyard in Maine under the prior owners ending in 2019. She is a classic tried and true transoceanic vessel with relatively new systems. Less “catch up work” more “maintenance and preventative care”. Owner wishes to keep her at yacht finishes and commercial grade/strength, she is not a “white boat” and wants to make the most of time in Lauderdale outfitting her before they travel. Seeking a Candidate Who: • Takes pride in their work. • Organized, meticulous, mechanical. • Has a good understanding of recreational and commercial marine electronics including but not limited to communications (5G/Sat) • Enjoys having owners on the boat and a clear itinerary vs. sitting at port. • Prefers time on the hook/remote/time in nature than waiting on the dock. • Appreciates an owner who pays attention to sea state and won’t obligate them to put themselves or the vessel at risk to try to conform to holiday schedules. • Enjoys non-motorized water sports: free diving/spearfishing, fishing, surfing, kiting. • Understands that maintenance and responsibilities are for the entirety of the vessel: from engine room to exterior. Benefits include: • Split Health Insurance costs the first three months, then crew can decide to continue as such or join the yacht’s program • Reimbursement of License/ticket Upgrades following 6 months of service • Three weeks paid vacation first year, 4 weeks second year • Captain “Flex Days” accrued over longer periods of time without time off It may be a good position for someone looking to broaden their resume from engineer to Captain. Or a captain who prefers dealing with machines than guests, charters or managing larger crews. Also seeking a stewardess/cook if you have worked with anyone in the past you would suggest/work well with.
