TradeWinds Yacht Support Grenada Limited, a growing player in the regional luxury yacht charter sector, has announced a round of new hiring to staff its expanding fleet of term-charter catamarans based out of Grenada. The company is looking to fill a total of nine open positions across on-water crew and on-shore management roles as it ramps up operations in the Caribbean yachting hub.
For on-water crew positions, the company is seeking 5 experienced charter yacht captains and 5 first mates/hosts to join its team. All candidates applying for crew roles are required to hold extensive prior experience working in the global charter yacht industry, demonstrate full fluency in English, and hold proficiency in a second major international language as a non-negotiable requirement.
Specific qualification requirements vary by role. Captains must hold a valid RYA Yachtmasters Offshore captain’s ticket with Commercial Endorsement (or an equivalent certification from a recognized maritime body), as well as all mandatory STCW certificates. For first mate and host roles, candidates need a valid RYA Dayskippers ticket, complete STCW certification, and a Food Safety and Hygiene Level 2 certificate.
The company is also hiring for two senior management roles to oversee its growing local operations: one base manager and one operations manager to handle daily activities for its four new term-charter catamarans. Both management roles require candidates to have a minimum of two years of experience in comparable yacht industry management positions, plus at least five years of prior experience working as yacht crew in the charter sector.
Base manager candidates must meet the same certification requirements as captains: a RYA Yachtmasters Offshore captain’s ticket with Commercial Endorsement (or equivalent) and all STCW certificates. Operations managers, by contrast, need the same credentials as first mates: a RYA Dayskippers ticket, full STCW certification, and a Food Safety and Hygiene Level 2 certificate.
Across all open roles, TradeWinds has stated that qualified local candidates who are residents of Grenada and meet all experience, skill, and certification requirements will be given priority consideration. This policy aligns with the company’s goal of supporting local employment as it grows its footprint in Grenada’s yachting economy.
Interested candidates are instructed to submit a complete, up-to-date curriculum vitae that includes contact information for professional references to the official email address [email protected]. For inquiries, candidates can also reach out via WhatsApp at +1-284-542-1133.
