Experienced dependable trustworthy crew ready and available for seasonal paid work.
Hello ,
thanks for stopping read my profile. I am Lu.
In summer 2026, I am taking a break from my online English teaching job. I want to find a boat that values my experience. If a formal job isn't possible, I am open to recreational sailing, meeting new people, and creating friendships, offering my very creative cooking, skills including fresh desserts and bread making, sewing and repair skills, sailing in SW Turkiye and local knowledge of the area, excellent provisions abilities on the budget, bubbly presence. I do not wish to contribute to marina fees and other boat costs. I can take care of myself and buy food to share, I can travel freely with small luggage, l enjoy peaceful bays , wind in my hair,day sails the best plan is no plan days. Some days off the grid and some exploring local places.
The beautiful nature,beach combing and swimming. I will only sail on clean NON SMOKING vessels please. If this resonates with you feel free to contact me.
As for my jobs search ,
I'm a seasoned woman with extensive boating, sailing, hospitality, and fine dining skills. Almost 12 years spent on water, gaining experience from Maryland to the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Greece, Turkiye and more. It never gets old
As a liveaboard on a 35-foot SV, I learned boat setup, galley, provisioning, organization, and cruising life. I can handle repairs, cruise in the Mediterranean, and assist with lines, sails, maneuvers, watches, cleaning, boat watch, and sewing skills. Love anymals .I also enjoy dog sitting.
I prefer anchoring in peaceful waters like the Ionian and Aegean seas. I am familiar with the Greek Islands, Turkish waters, and Cyprus. Based between Turkey and Central Europe, I can embark in Turkey or elsewhere.
I hold US and EU passports, speak English fluently, and also Slovak and Czech. I have basic Russian, Polish, and some understanding of Slavic languages and Turkish. I enjoy cooking, caring for pets and children, and am available as a babysitter in Göcek or Fethiye.
I'm seeking a smaller yacht or sailing vessel in a relaxed environment, avoiding loud parties. I enjoy preparing healthy, Mediterranean, and international cuisine, with extensive galley experience. I consider myself a creative and innovative cook, and I keep my workplace clean. I'm not interested in heavy line work or large charters with many quests and long hours.
Practical, discreet, and diplomatic, I am a clean, non-smoker, and drink occasionally. I am a mixologist with experience in high-end US restaurants. Do you fancy a good martini? Shaken or stirred :)
I handle client interactions calmly.
I know the Southwest Turkey region well and can help with tours, provisioning, and repairs. I have a driving license and can drive in Turkey.
Note.
I lack official certifications; all experience is practical. References available.
I value clear communication, respect, and professionalism. I prefer teamwork, am a good swimmer, but not into diving or speed sports. I want new experiences, connections, and memorable moments.
Safety is my priority.
Thank you,
Kindly,
Safe winds, Lu
