If you are doing it right, the work is both highly satisfying and huge fun, with some character building challenges along the way! We’re not the smallest sailing holiday company but we’re not the biggest either, and that benefits our staff and clients alike. For our staff, this means you will become part of a small closely knit team, some of whom have done your job themselves. You’ll be known to everyone from our Managing Director downwards by name, not as just a number on the payroll. Many of the people you will be working with have years of experience in the sailing and travel industries, so for those that want to learn there are numerous opportunities to enhance your capabilities. For our guests, we aim to personalise our service, so they go home having not just had a holiday, but their best ever holiday.
