Summary

We are looking for a qualified nurse to provide onboard medical care on a private explorer motor yacht that spends extended periods far from shore-based facilities, including planned Pacific crossings. You will maintain the ship's medical locker, run pre-departure health screening for crew and family, and act as the first point of medical response for minor illness and injury.

A recognised nursing qualification plus a Ship's Medical Care certificate are required; prior remote or maritime medical experience is strongly preferred given the isolation of some itineraries. We are looking for someone calm and self-sufficient, able to make sound clinical judgement calls without immediate access to a hospital, and to coordinate telemedicine consultations when needed.
