Description
I live onboard a 38ft cruising yacht currently sailing up the east coast of Queensland bound for Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays.I am offering a spare bunk to anyone interested in some sailing trips to islands and reefs from Yeppoon through to Airlie Beach Trips usually last for up to 2 to 3 weeks and longer stays can be arranged. The help required is very non labour intensive and mostly polishing/general maintenance/cooking,etc. This is not a holiday charter vessel and stayers will be required to pull there weight. Please be over 28yo with a genuine interest in ocean living.The boarding point will be Airlie Beach in the Whitsunday so anyone interested should shoot me a message.No sailing experience required.
Due to the high numbers of inquiries its hard to answer everyone so a huge thank you to everyone that has read this far or has taken the time to apply. Thanks , Safe TravelsTypes of help and learning opportunities
