Long term position(s) on live aboard circumnavigation
Great opportunity for a person or a couple that would like to be cruising full time for a longer period of time, preferably a year or more.
We are a couple cruising full time on a 64 feet monohull. We take on up to 6 crew. Crew typically stay 2-8 weeks. We are now looking for some crew members for longer engagement in order to share the workload and responsibilities on board.
What we offer: You get your own cabin with a private bathroom. You get a say in the planning and execution of the voyage. You get a trip of a lifetime through some of the most exotic blue water cruising areas. You get the joy of full time cruising without the pain of owning a boat. You will have the opportunity to take time away from the boat to do other things.
What we expect from you: You pay your share of the cost (as do we and all our crew). You contribute on any task necessary as needed, while generally you take a greater responsibility for specific tasks/areas. You take care of the boat if we take a brake from sailing to visit family back home or make a land based trip.
Our budget is an average of 50usd per person per day. This is what each crew pay, and we cover the rest. This includes food/groceries, water, fuel, marinas, formalities, internet/communication, boat insurance and maintenance. Generally drinks, snack and land-based expenses are not included, the same goes for visas and per person immigration fees and similar.
Here are some examples of areas of responsibility that will be divided between us and you:
- Route planning
- Passage planning
- Engine maintenance
- Cooking
- Cleaning
- Electrics and electronics
- Sail and rigging
- Social media
- Crew recruitment and on-boarding
Please don't hesitate to make contact if you feel this would be an interesting opportunity for you.

If you have a chance to sail with these guys DO IT!
Mari and I spent two amazing weeks onboard this boat with Janne and Tom, and we can’t recommend them and their boat highly enough. It was a couple of truly fantastic weeks. What can you expect? Great food, meaningful conversations, plenty of laughs, and Tom’s impressive sailing expertise along with his many other technical skills. We learned so much about sailing, and Tom’s patience as a teacher made it all the more enjoyable. The pictures in my mind don’t even do the boat justice. Klaus is beautiful—clean, spacious, and incredibly cozy. Tom and Janne really take care of their crews needs, small or big. If we ever get the chance to sail with Janne and Tom again, we’ll jump at it without hesitation! They made the whole experience unforgettable.
