Careers

# Join the Crew

Skippers, Technicians & Seasonal Base Workers Wanted

Help us deliver authentic premium Arctic sailing experiences — and become part of a crew that's been doing this properly for over 23 years.

## Who We Are

For more than 23 years, Boreal Yachting has run premium sailing expeditions across the Norwegian Arctic, with bases in Tromsø, Harstad/Lofoten and Svalbard. As a proud AECO partner, we operate with a deep respect for the environment and an uncompromising, safety-first culture. We are a premium Arctic brand built on real seamanship — and on a crew that takes genuine pride in doing things properly.

## Open Roles

Three ways to join the crew. Each role is essential to how we operate.

### Skippers

We are looking for experienced skippers who can run a yacht safely in demanding Arctic conditions while making guests feel calm and well cared for.

-   Relevant commercial skipper certification (e.g. D5L or equivalent) 
-   Documented experience sailing in challenging coastal and high-latitude waters 
-   Strong seamanship and a genuine safety-first mindset 
-   Comfortable hosting international guests in English 
-   Calm, professional and a natural team player 

### Technicians

Our fleet depends on people who keep it running. We need hands-on technicians who can maintain and troubleshoot yachts between and during the season.

-   Practical experience with marine engines, electrical and rigging systems 
-   Ability to diagnose and solve problems independently in the field 
-   Methodical, reliable and quality-focused 
-   Willingness to work across our Arctic bases as needed 
-   Working English; Norwegian is an advantage 

### Seasonal Base Workers

Our bases are where every voyage begins and ends. Seasonal base workers keep operations smooth — preparing yachts, supporting crew and welcoming guests.

-   Practical, organised and happy with varied daily tasks 
-   Comfortable with provisioning, cleaning and guest handover 
-   Flexible availability through the operating season 
-   Friendly, service-minded and dependable 
-   Working English; an interest in sailing is a plus
