THE CREW

The crew of the Tre Kronorare volunteers. A large number of them serve as deckhands or senior deckhands. Other positions require formal qualifications such as captain, mate, seaman, deckhand, etc., along with STCW safety training and experience and familiarity with similar vessels. In addition to these, a purser and a cook are needed for passenger voyages. Starting with the 2024 season, the entire crew will primarily be working on a volunteer basis.

To be eligible for a position as a deckhand, you must meet the following requirements:

• Medical certificate for seafarers
• You must be willing to work
• You must be able to work up in the rig
• You must be able to interact socially with the rest of the crew and guests
• You are responsible for covering the cost of travel to and from your place of employment

Some sailing or maritime experience is a plus.
You’ll be rewarded with wonderful experiences, great food, and a place to sleep.
