Job Description:

30-meter classic wooden motor yacht. Montego operates as a privately owned vessel with a long-standing, active cruising program. Montego has been under the same ownership for more than a decade making annual voyages to Alaska.
The typical cruising season runs from May through October, exploring Southeast Alaska and British Columbia.
The program focuses on water sports, fishing, and exploration, with an emphasis on hands-on seamanship, and a well-maintained, traditional yacht.

During the off-season, Montego is moored in her boathouse in Seattle, where maintenance projects and refit work keep the Captain and Mate engaged full-time.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:
-Deck maintenance and exterior upkeep, including brightwork, painting, washdowns, line handling and anchoring
-Tender maintenance, operations (fishing, watersports, excursions) and guest transfers
-Standing navigational watches
-Supporting routine mechanical, electrical, and systems maintenance alongside the Captain
-Assisting with interior guest services, serving meals and maintaining guest accommodations
-Contributing to seasonal maintenance, refit projects, and winter upkeep while the vessel is laid up

This position requires a self-motivated individual with strong attention to detail who is comfortable working in a small-crew, fast-paced environment and capable of taking initiative without constant direction. Must have valid passport and able to travel to Canada.

This is a full-time, salaried position that includes health insurance.
Offered pay is dependent upon experience.
