A state-of-the-art 25m expedition motor yacht is on the search for an experienced captain / engineer for their program operating out of Port Douglas.

Days in lieu accrued for longer trips with additional down time when back in dock.

Run with 4 core crew (Captain/Engineer, Chef, Stew & Deck) + 2 X fishing guides who operate center console fishing day boats, with the 25m acting as a mothership.
