    Description

    My Name is Kevin and i am looking for help on my prawn trawler. We are now in its home base ofCairns. Being able to work within an enclosed structure as a team is vital. Experience isn't necessary but a love for the ocean and an outgoing attitude is essential.

    There is potential for high earnings here as nobody works on my boat without getting paid for their labour. I would like to offer this unique experience to 1
    crew member so if you are up for the challenge, please don't hesitate to get in touch and i will provide all necessary information.

    So a bit about myself, i am a relaxed, easy going guy with plenty of banter. I love to surf and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. I love to have a laugh and live as freely as possible,
