Available in Las Palmas from late October 2026 | Westbound Atlantic | ~2,000 NM | Polish Yacht Skipper + STCW
Crew available specifically in Las Palmas from mid-/end October
Hi Skippers,
I will be in Las Palmas from mid/late October 2026 and am primarily looking for a westbound Atlantic crossing from the Canaries, ideally toward the Caribbean, either directly or via Cape Verde.
I am also open to other worthwhile offshore passages or longer coastal legs if the right opportunity comes along.
My aim is to continue building offshore experience while contributing as a reliable, calm and proactive crew member.
⛵ Sailing & Skills
• Polish Yacht Skipper licence – Jachtowy Sternik Morski
• STCW Basic Safety Training
• RYA SRC (in progress)
⛵ Sea Miles (approx.)
• ~2,000 NM logged
• Tenerife – Madeira – Tenerife: ~650 NM offshore
• Brest – Bristol: ~335 NM, Biscay / Celtic Sea
• Darłowo – Amsterdam: ~725 NM via Christiansø, Bornholm and Kiel Canal
• Comfortable with watchkeeping, sail handling, cooking and general onboard duties
⛵ Goal: build offshore miles toward Yachtmaster Offshore
My longer-term goal is to continue building offshore experience toward RYA Yachtmaster Offshore.
On board I am happy to take part in watch systems, sail handling, basic navigation and passage routines, provisioning, cooking and general maintenance. I follow instructions, but I am also comfortable taking appropriate initiative when needed.
⛵ Professional Background
I have worked for more than 13 years in supply-chain planning and logistics, so I am used to organisation, teamwork, responsibility and working calmly when plans change.
I am fluent in English and comfortable in international and multicultural crews.
⛵ On Board
Non-smoker, physically fit, comfortable with long watches and offshore conditions, and happy to share costs and responsibilities. I travel with my own personal offshore safety equipment.
I will be in Las Palmas and available to meet in person before departure, and I can join on short notice once there.
If you are planning a westbound passage and are looking for another reliable crew member, please get in touch.
Fair winds,
Jakub
