sunsail, the moorings & leopard catamarans

At The Moorings and Sunsail, we plan and deliver fantastic yacht charters across the world.

We have an abiding passion for sailing, taking yachting holidays to the next level across the most spectacular destinations worldwide which keep our customers coming back again and again! From independent sailing holidays to fully catered crewed and power yacht charters we offer our customers a range of product options, and most importantly an unforgettable experience.

The secret to our success within the yacht industry lies in our exceptional teams, we are united by the same purpose, to have fun while creating extraordinary experiences on the water.

A crewed yacht charter delivers the ultimate all-inclusive vacation on the water aboard an exclusive sailing or power catamaran. It blends the comfort of luxury vacations with the spirit of adventure travel. Complete with a professional crew, guests can enjoy the nautical skills and local knowledge of a captain, gourmet meals prepared by a chef, and a high level of service and hospitality from a steward/ess.

Whilst on charter, the steward/ess is responsible for the wellbeing of the guests and the overall cleanliness of the yacht. The crew work as a team to manage and operate the yacht for charter.

At times management may assign additional tasks relating to the position which may include day sails, photo shoots, briefings, boat shows, flotilla support, customer service etc. When the yacht is not on charter the position involves base work and duties.

The steward/ess will work between the 58ft crewed yachts supporting on whichever yacht is required. You must be willing to move between yachts regularly and at last minute request. Accommodation will be provided on board the yachts. The ideal candidate will be able to support in the capacity of chef when required.
