Apply as professional crew

About the Role:

Brigantine NEPTUN is seeking a Captain / Yachtmaster 1 Class Worldwide to join our non-profit sailing organization for the upcoming stages of our world voyage.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced sailor and leader, comfortable commanding a traditional 30-meter brigantine, guiding a mixed international crew of sail-training members, and taking full responsibility for navigation, safety, and vessel operations.

Responsibilities

• Command Brigantine NEPTUN during ocean passages and port operations.
• Lead and mentor a multinational crew of up to 16 sail-training members.
• Plan and execute ocean passages, including route planning, weather routing, and port clearance procedures.
• Supervise deck, rig, and engine room activities to ensure safe and efficient maintenance of all systems.
• Ensure compliance with Danish Maritime Authority regulations for pleasure vessels and local port and immigration procedures.
• Conduct drills and maintain a strong onboard safety culture.
• Teach and inspire less-experienced crew in seamanship, navigation, and traditional sailing.
• Represent the vessel and the organization professionally in ports of call and when liaising with agents, authorities, and local communities.

Qualifications

We do not require a formal commercial master’s license; however, we expect that you: 

• Hold a Yachtmaster certificate 1 class worldwide or equivalent commercial license.
• Proven experience as Captain or Officer-in-Charge on large sailing vessels (preferably >20 m).
• Strong knowledge of traditional rigs (brigantine, gaff, or square rig).
• Offshore navigation experience and familiarity with international clearance and safety procedures.
• Leadership, communication, and crew management skills suited to a mixed-experience environment.
• Technical competence in rigging, mechanical, and electrical systems.
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions under pressure.

Economy

This is a non-commercial position within a voluntary nonprofit organization.

• Compensation: Modest monthly salary and support for flights.
• Accommodation and meals are fully provided onboard.
  This role is suited for a captain who seeks the voyage, the adventure, and the opportunity to teach seamanship — rather than one motivated by financial reward.
