Description
We are a small family run business located in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Eastern Caribbean. We have rental cottages, boats and gardens all ready for volunteers! We also run the SVG Rugby Union so any sporting enthusiasts are welcome to be involved in the Union.
Due to the fact we have 2 children (2 girls, 4 and 2) our house is bursting at the seams so we are looking for persons who have yacht knowledge and who can stay on the boat, rather than in our home. We have a 50ft Beneteau, which is in constant need of cleaning, maintenance and work, as well as projects around the compound. If you are sea sick or not used to the sea/water then this isn't the place for you!
We are also looking for qualified chefs - who could help on charters and work on a new project.
We have several possibilities:
RUGBY COACH - this position you will receive a monthly stipend, but must commit to 6-months. You will need coaching qualifications and background checks.
CHEF - we are looking for a qualified chef for a new project - again, a monthly stipend will be received and accommodation arranged.
Please do not contact us for the positions if you are not qualified, as we won't accept anyone without evidence/certificates/experience/references/background checks etc

They will learn about life on a small, undeveloped Caribbean island; it's culture, traditions and being resourceful. Sometimes the island runs out of essentials so you learn to live without, especially comforts, so living a basic life. They will learn about the locals and their food, drink and lifestyles. How much you learn is up to the individual as there are opportunity's to learn to sail, cook, play rugby, the list is endless.

Accommodation
Accommodation is on our 50ft Beneteau yacht - it is very basic, no hot water !!
What else ...
There is so much to do for the adventurous! St. Vincent has a volcano, lots of hiking and rivers, beaches, horse riding, camping, fishing, snorkeling/diving, surfing, farming, and some of the best sailing in the world.
The Grenadine islands are all easily accessible and great for exploring with each island offering something different from the last. There are many charities and grassroots projects to volunteer with including the get into rugby programme and the animal charity VSPCA.A little more information
