ABOUT THE ROLE
\nOur Assistant Chef is also the ship's Baker — a true dual role. You'll work alongside the galley team to prepare fresh meals for guests and crew, while owning the onboard baking: breads, desserts, cookies, and more, made from scratch each day. Beyond baking, you'll handle prep, load stores and provisions, keep the galley clean, and manage dishwashing — the full rhythm of a working expedition kitchen.
\n
\n\n
Candidates must be genuinely prepared for sustained physical demand in a remote, at-sea environment before applying.
\n
\n
WORK SCHEDULE
\n
Chefs work an average of 12 hours per day, every day, with no days off throughout your 8-week rotation onboard.
\n
\n
LIVING CONDITIONS
\n
Crew quarters are compact and shared — you will bunk with one or two roommates for the full duration of your rotation, with minimal personal space. The vessel operates in remote locations with limited or no port access between expeditions, so cell service and internet may be unavailable for extended periods. You must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medications, as refills cannot be obtained while underway.
\n
\n
This lifestyle suits people who are adaptable, self-sufficient, and genuinely energized by close-knit team environments and remote travel. If those conditions sound like a challenge rather than an adventure, this may not be the right fit.
\n
\n
PHYSICAL DEMANDS
\n
This is a physically demanding role performed in a moving marine environment. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to stand, walk, bend, kneel, squat, and climb steep interior stairs repeatedly throughout a 12-hour shift — including during periods of significant vessel motion. The employee must regularly lift and carry items up to 50 pounds. Work rotates continuously across cabin cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and food service, often without extended breaks. Work is performed in confined spaces and high-humidity environments including the galley.

ABOUT THE ROLE
\nThe Third Mate is responsible for managing crew and staff familiarization and participation in the ISM Safety Management System, as well as assisting with the vessel's piloting, navigation, safety and small boat operations. Third Mate is responsible for the care and maintenance of the kayaks and all related gear.
\n
\n\n
LIVING CONDITIONS
\n
Crew quarters are compact and shared — you will bunk with one or two roommates for the full duration of your rotation, with minimal personal space. The vessel operates in remote locations with limited or no port access between expeditions, so cell service and internet may be unavailable for extended periods. You must bring a sufficient supply of any prescription medications, as refills cannot be obtained while underway.
\n
This lifestyle suits people who are adaptable, self-sufficient, and genuinely energized by close-knit team environments and remote travel. If those conditions sound like a challenge rather than an adventure, this may not be the right fit.
