⛵️ POSITION FILLED ⛵️
Looking for an experienced Captain to fill a sole position on a privately used Chicago-based Swan 62. This position is a fantastic opportunity for a Captain seeking long-term, full-time employment and an excellent work-life balance with owners who have decades of experience and a passion for sailing.
The boat remains in the Chicago area year-round with a summer sailing season that generally runs from May - September. During this time, the boat is primarily used for day sailing and the occasional sunset sail on Lake Michigan. This a great position for a Captain who appreciates a more regular work schedule, but who still loves to get out on the water and enjoys putting their sailing skills to use.
During the winter season, October-April, the boat is hauled out and winterized for a yard period when general maintenance takes place. Since the boat was launched in 2002, she has been routinely maintained and upgraded with recent works including new electronics and new sails.
This year, there are works to be completed in Feb/March. Recommissioning will
begin again in April to prepare for the summer season of 2024. For crew seeking a land-based yacht job, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

- Right to work on a USA-flagged boat (US Citizen or Green Card Holder)
- Experience running similar-sized yachts
