Captain and Mate/Stew/Chef Couple for 50 foot catamaran

My wife and I have a 50-foot catamaran and are looking for a couple to be our crew. We need a captain and a mate/stew/chef. The captain should have a RYA yachtmaster offshore at a minimum and preferably ocean (or equivalent). The mate/stew/chef will primarily have inside responsibilities; however, they will need to support the captain in sailing the boat. The boat is still under warranty. There are three cabins aboard and you would have the one of the cabins which has its own full bathroom.

My wife and I live aboard full time; however, life aboard is not like a permanent charter. We are not looking to be entertained full time. We are both fairly laid back and self-sufficient. When at dock or on the hook, we will often go ashore by ourselves. Additionally as long as everything is ok aboard, we have no problem with our crew doing things by themselves whether it is sightseeing or going out for entertainment.

We require either a B1/B2 visa or a US or Canadian citizen. We will spend over 3 months in the US this year. We are currently in South Carolina and plan on heading up the East coast of the US this summer and then heading to the Caribbean and or the Bahamas for this winter. After that, we may either go to the Mediterranean or Pacific. We don’t have any specific plans.

We have children and grandchildren of living around the world and will travel to visit them so we will be off the boat for around 6 to 8 weeks a year.

Our taste in food is broad and while we do like fancy dishes, we more prefer basic food. There is no smoking aboard and my Wife and I are social drinkers.
