FIRST MATE - 45M S/Y

PMR Recruitment is looking for a First Mate for a 45M S/Y with YM Offshore qualifications. We're seeking a candidate who is well on their way to achieving their OOW 3000GT. The vessel operates on a dual-season itinerary, combining private and charter. The cruising route will include the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and then onto the Pacific.

Requirements:

• Minimum Yachtmaster commercially endorsed, Master 200T, or OOW 500GT (OOW 3000T is preferred but not essential)

• Strong sailing background (ideally someone with early sailing experience, it should feel second nature)

• Experience with global touring, either on smaller boats or larger vessels, as the vessel is heading to the Pacific next year

• A solid track record on larger yachts, understanding big loads and the compliance side (ISM/SSM, etc.)

• Some experience in running the deck, including working with 1 crew member

• Proactive, but willing to listen, learn, and grow within the role

• Ability to assist with creating and maintaining checklists and SOPs

• Must be someone we can develop to truly take charge and lead the deck when necessary

Key Criteria: The ideal candidate will be someone who, with the right training and time, can take charge of the vessel in a crisis if both captains were incapacitated.

We are looking for someone to potentially join as early as mid-April in the Caribbean for a trial period as delivery crew. Alternatively, the position could start in Palma upon our return mid-May.
