Volunteer crewing is something that has been going on for years and why more people haven’t heard of it, we still don’t understand. Here’s the basic deal: Every year there are thousands of yachts that sail around the most amazing destinations in the world. Think Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Asia, Tahiti, the Mediterranean, and Caribbean.
Do you think you could handle steering for a few hours a day in exchange for exploring tropical islands that about 100 people per year even lay eyes on? Do you think doing the dishes might be a fair trade to learn the ukulele from the people who invented the instrument…in their home town? If so, then this might be for you. [links]
We are a married couple and have spent the past year sailing on 35 – 50 foot luxury yachts. In that year, we have sailed from San Diego, CA to Tahiti as well as visited twenty other South Pacific islands in the process. We did not pay for a single day aboard any of these ships.
You can earn certificates of competence through organizations like the Royal Yachting Association which require practical sailing experience and completion of an exam -- no formal courses required.

I had only been sailing a handful of times, but managed to get a place on a boat sailing out of Darwin to the Indonesian Spice Islands, and on to Lombok, Bali, Jakarta and Singapore.
Amazing! I never thought of this possibility ! Simple but it works. Thank you for info!

“We worked on safety a lot,” he adds, showing me how he made up a series of short inboard jackstays for safety on deck. “I’m critical of normal-length jackstays, because they extend enough to allow you to hang overboard. So like in the mountains we use two lines on short inboard wires, so that you are always clipped on by one.” [links]

Here are six very different case studies, from the thoroughly prepared to the last-minute entry. Skippers offer their advice to those who might aspire to do the same.
