  I am looking for a deckhand (sailor/deck manager) for the the ship.
  
  What does this job entail?
  
  We sail on the most beautiful nature reserve in the Netherlands, namely the Wadden Sea. We do this together with our guests. This varies from school classes to friends/acquaintances or from associations to companies. The goal is to provide guests with a great experience!
  
  As a mate, you will ensure that the sails go up together with the guests and you will also assist the skipper during maneuvering in the harbor so that we can leave and arrive safely.
  
  What do we look for in a candidate?
  
  - You need to be EU citizen or have EU working visa
  - You are between 18 and 35 years old.
  - You are prepared to be away from home for a longer period of time. A minimum of 4 months
  -Sailing experience is not required but a bonus.
  - You are a team player.
  - You don't have a 9 to 5 mentality.
  - You speak the german language. English is an advantage.
  - You are willing to do a medical examination (this will be reimbursed by us).

  What do you get in return?

  A little side note,
  
  Unfortunately the regulations to become deckhand has changed in The Netherlands. This means if you want to become a deckhand after 1 April 2023 you need to follow an external training. We are open to pay for this training but there are some conditions. The most important one is that you’re open to stay onboard for 4 months.
