Join Our Team as a Sailing Holiday Pro!

Take the Helm

As a skipper for us, you’ll be the captain of modern yachts in beautiful, warm destinations. Together with your young crew, you’ll decide each day where to head next. If you’re not yet familiar with the various sailing areas, we’ve got you covered with a Skipper Guide that will make you as knowledgeable as a local. As a skipper, your main responsibility is to safely guide the crew through the sailing area. You’ll assign tasks and keep an eye on everything happening onboard. 

Your crew will be around your age, ensuring you feel completely at ease. We strive for a balanced gender ratio on all our trips. Your crews are between 20 and 40 years old and fully aware that they’re participating in an interactive sailing holiday where everyone contributes.

We Handle the Organization

With us, you can fully focus on skippering. Our office team takes care of all the formalities, so you can lead your crew to their dream vacation.

Additionally, you can connect with a network of over 300 skippers, allowing you to continuously expand your sailing experience. On every trip, we also link our skippers with others in the same area. This way, you can plan evening meetups for a sundowner at a beach bar or organize flotilla sailing adventures.

Our office team is always there to support you in case of any complications. At sailwithus, you’ll never feel alone in any situation.

"Ich segle seit Mitte 2020 als Skipper für Sailwithus und jeder einzelne Törn bereitet mir wahnsinnig viel Freude. Die Abstimmung mit dem Office-Team ist absolut unkompliziert und ihnen liegt die Zufriedenheit jedes einzelnen Kunden und Skippers sehr am Herzen. Sailwithus chartert fast ausschließlich neue Boote, welche selten älter als 2-3 Jahre sind. Die Boote haben meist eine Größe zwischen 45-51 Fuß und bieten damit ausreichend Platz und Komfort für alle."
