    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The cultural versatility of Greece and its beautiful nature in every respect speaks for itself. In addition I can teach you German, some guitar and most important: how to live on a boat.

    Help

    Maneuvers, taking helm, keeping watch but also domestic work like groceries, cooking, cleaning ...
    I do not necessarily expect experience in sailing but if you have it is a plus. If not you must be willing to learn how to assist in maneuvers, taking helm, servicing nautical equipment, small repairs, general maintenance and domestic work on the boat. I do expect that you can cook. I keep the boat tidy inside and outside and I expect the same attitude from the crew.
    Best if you are in your end-twenties or older but you may contact me if you are younger provided you have experience in managing a household.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    On a sailing yacht, in a private cabin. It's a spacious 45-footer with amenities like two bathrooms, shower, cooker, fridge, stereo... Accomodation is free but absolutely non-smoking/vaping.
    A word to food: Vegeterian/vegan is difficult because it makes cooking joint crew meals complicated.
    Cost for food will be shared among all persons on board during your stay, so food is not provided.
    Working hours per day will not exceed 3 hours cumulatively - if this lifestyle can be called "work" at all ...
