Description
Are you a marine lover who dreams of exploring the world's oceans and reefs? Do you have skills in marine engineering, carpentry, painting, or other shorebased jobs? If yes, then you might be the perfect fit for our team!
We are an ocean advocacy lifestyle brand that houses many international artists from all over the world. Our crew's goal is to simply have our viewers fall in love with the ocean through our work in social medias. We document, film and bring light to conservation issues on our custom built 75-foot steel ketch Sylfia.
If you are interested, please send us a message with your availability, skills, and motivation. We will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you on board!

Help
We are currently looking for a few people to join us from the end of March until our departure in May at the Fremantle Sailing Club, where we are preparing for the next expedition and doing some repairs. We need help with painting, welding, plumbing, electrical work, and general maintenance (not necessarily need to be a an expert😉)
We expect you to work for about 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week, for a minimum of 2 weeks while the vessel is being repaired in the harbour . In exchange, you will get to experience the boat life, learn new skills, make new friends, and have an unforgettable time.

Accommodation
You will have your own bunk bed in a shared cabin, with access to a bathroom, a kitchen, and a lounge area plus other facilities at the sailing club.
One of the values that we uphold on board is respect for all living beings, especially the marine life that we encounter and protect. That is why we follow a vegetarian diet on the boat, and we ask our helpers to do the same. We provide healthy and delicious vegetarian meals, made with fresh and local ingredients whenever possible. We also cater for vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary preferences, as long as you let us know in advance. We hope that you will enjoy and appreciate the vegetarian cuisine that we offer, and that you will respect our choice to avoid animal products. We believe that this is not only good for the environment, but also for our health and well-being.
What else ...
Fremantle is a vibrant and historic port city, full of attractions, activities and culture. You will never run out of things to do in your time off, whether you want to explore the heritage buildings, enjoy the beach, sample the local cuisine, or catch some live music. Some of the highlights include visiting the Fremantle Prison, the Fremantle Markets, the Fishing Boat Harbour, the Maritime Museum, and the Arts Centre. You can also take a ferry to Rottnest Island, where you can meet the friendly quokkas and swim in the crystal clear water. Fremantle is easy to get around by public transport, as it has a train station and a bus port in the centre of the city. You can also use the free CAT bus service, which loops around the main attractions and landmarks. Alternatively, you can hire a bike or walk along the scenic trails and enjoy the views. Fremantle is a place where you can experience the best of Western Australia's lifestyle, culture and history.
