We are pleased to be assisting with the placement of a Captain for a 40m motor yacht currently based in the UAE. The yacht operates strictly as a private vessel with a long-serving crew onboard and offers a professional yet family-style environment. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Captain seeking a stable, owner-focused role with responsibility for the safe navigation, operation, and management of the vessel in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. The ideal candidate will bring solid command experience, a hands-on approach, and the ability to lead and maintain a well-run yacht programme. The ideal candidate should hold a Masters < 500GT COC but preferably higher with 5 years' experience in the yacht industry. You should also be active, friendly, and of a positive nature. There are 8 permanent long-serving crew members onboard. Candidates should display excellent leadership skills and an attitude that shows care for the crew, professionalism, and accuracy in all areas. Responsibility over budgets will be discussed. The role also comes with onshore apartment accommodation and a car for travel. The owners use the vessel mostly on weekends and one or twice a month depending upon their schedules.
The start date for this role is ASAP within the next 3 weeks.
