Are you a first mate or stew/mate with a captain’s license looking for your own command — and a unique lifestyle role that combines time at sea with time managing a private island? We’re seeking an ambitious, hands-on professional to serve as both Captain of a 63' Hatteras and Manager of a private 38-acre island off the coast of Maine.

This is a rare opportunity to take the helm of your own boat while gaining valuable land-based management experience. You’ll live aboard the yacht when underway and transition to a shared crew house on the island during the summer. The role offers a balance of autonomy, adventure, and responsibility — ideal for someone ready to step up.

Location: Seasonal in Maine (June–September); Remainder based on yacht itinerary (currently St. Thomas, USVI)

Lifestyle & Expectations:
This is a hybrid land/sea role with significant autonomy and responsibility. During the summer, you'll be based on the island (shared crew house provided).
