Hostess/ Stewardess available in the Mediterranean
I am actively looking for temporary paid positions as a hostess or stewardess starting mid August to October
Sailing experience and skills:
- 6000+ nm on various monohulls in the UK, seasonal sailing in the Med, tall ships in the North Sea, an Atlantic crossing, and cruising in the Caribbean
- Comfortable with standing night watches solo, but will not trim sails or perform any manoeuvres without the captain's guidance or permission
- Pro at provisioning - during the Atlantic crossing, we never had the same dish twice or ate tinned food.
- Enjoy cooking healthy, unprocessed food, particularly Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
- Prioritize maintaining a clean and tidy interior and cockpit
- Medical First Aid trained
- No allergies or dietary restrictions, no seasickness, no smoking
- Responsible, reliable and adaptable team player, respectful about personal and shared space
About me:
- Well-rounded and well-travelled (50+ countries) mature individual with a business and marketing background
- Good communicator, fluent in five languages, lived in the UK, Italy and Peru
- Ex-travel concierge: organising on-land activities and local tours, creating smart itineraries, booking marinas, flights and on-land logistics, port and immigration clearance
- Adventurous and outdoor lover: trekking in Tadjikistan and Nepal, scuba diving in Mexico, climbing in Egypt, cycling in the Dolomites, biking around the Peruvian Andes
- Good at mobile photography and video editing, which can contribute to documenting your sailing journey or promoting your boat (Instagram: @whereis_kat)
- Community-conscious: volunteering at a wild animal rescue centre, participating in a sustainable cargo-under-sails project, rebuilding houses destroyed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit and addition to your crew
Happy Kat - from Malta to Grenada
Kat was our purser I.c. Logistics, medical, grab bags and watch-keeper for 5 months and 5,000 NM. She loved to learn about systems and sailing, was always useful and ready to help and was a completely reliable watch-keeper. Kat is a happy and mature personality, full of joy in life and made the voyage more enjoyable, safer, super well provisioned and better organised. I was so lucky to have her on my crew and I hope she will rejoin my yacht when we start the next leg in a few months time..
