The yacht has an exciting itinerary ahead, with plans to depart Palma at the end of November for the Caribbean, including Christmas and New Year charters and the St Barths Bucket in 2027. The yacht will then return to the Mediterranean for the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta in Naples in July, alongside potential charter activity throughout the summer.

From the end of November 2027, the yacht will embark on an extended world cruising program, with plans to spend approximately five years in the Pacific. Japan is also on the itnerary. New Zealand will be used for yard periods, although the yacht will generally be on the move.

The ideal candidate will be organised, practical and comfortable taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of the deck department, including maintenance, sailing operations, tender driving and guest activities. This is a busy program with plenty of variety, so they are looking for someone proactive, adaptable and comfortable with an itinerary that is constantly moving.
