Maximum crew on board, the skipper inclusive, will be 4.

If you like travelling, seeks adventure, or want to see the world from another aspect, then sailing on the blue oceans  might be something for you. You will experience and be able to live your dreams fully. You will visit tropical islands, exotic countries etc. While we are sailing you will socialice together with your crew mates, and you will probably get new friends.

The requirement is of course, that you on equal terms are taking part in the work on board, the maintenance, look outs, cooking, cleaning, and other duties etc. 

See "CREW LIST" for available periods on board.

 How much does it cost?

For the bunk bed on board, the price will be 25 US $ daily (750 per month), or in an equivalent currency. This is fully used for the maintenance of the yacht.
Furthermore everybody on board will share the running expenses, such as diesel, water, food, harbour fees, clearing fees, etc. It is expected, that this cost will be around 8 to 15 US$ per day, depending on the total crew on board and the area of cruising.
