Description
hello i am michael, skipper/owner of two traditional sailing ships in harlingen the Netherlands.We mainly sail multi-day trips with german or dutch guests on the beautiful Wadden Sea and we usually spend the night on the islands, but also often at anchor.
Our season starts in April/May and lasts until the end of September/beginning of October
I am looking for a European sailor( preference female) who, together with me , will entertain the guests, teach them how to sail, show the guests the island and carry out some maintenance on board.In our home port of Harlingen the ships are moored next to each other.The ships sail their voyages separately from each other. We live on board as a crew. You will have your own accommodation separate from the guests.
Please respond if you can come for at least 4 months or longer.
