Oyster Yachts | Oyster World Rally 2026 - Captain And 1St Mate/Cook - Oyster 565

Job Description
STARTING JULY 2025 - We are looking for a qualified sailing couple team to help these new yacht owners achieve their circumnavigation dreams on the next Oyster World Rally which departs Antigua in January 2026.
The new build is due to handover from the Oyster yard in July 2025 in Ipswich, UK.
The crew would ideally step onboard during the handover period and get to know the boat for the first few weeks before sailing down to Palma for the shakedown cruise.
Following a warranty stop in at Oyster Palma, it will be onto the Canaries and across the Atlantic before starting the rally in January 2025.
This owning couple are novice sailors and are very keen to learn the ropes and fully participate in the adventure.
Therefore it is important to have a crew on board who will enjoy teaching them and their family.
