    Mediterranean trips

    We are looking for crew to join a couple of Mediterranean deliveries next week. South France - Marmaris and Slovenia - Izmir. Offshore experience preferred, but not essential. On board costs and travel budget paid. Nice comfortable yachts and nice warm seas at this time of year.

    Shipping boat across the 'pond'

    Prices can be very low on this route and its one of the few where crewed / 'own keel' delivery struggles to compete. Please feel free to enquire at www.direct-yachts.com
