Barefoot Cruises Jobs
The
line has a fleet of five sailing ships plus one freighter
and a supply ship (Amazing Grace). Most cabins have bunk
beds and private facilities, but not much beyond that.
Shorts and beachwear is the full-time dress code. There
are not any casinos or any type of organized entertainment
aboard. Passengers could participate in operating the
sails if they wish so. Absolutely fabulous Caribbean
itineraries. Windjammer Barefoot Cruises, still a
family-run company, was founded in 1947 by Captain Mike
Burke. He took a dilapidated 70-foot ketch and began
offering ultra-informal trips to the Bahamas. The company
is based in Miami. In the Windjammer fleet of sailing
ships, the 72-passenger Mandalay, built in 1923, is its
most venerable. Other ships in the line include the
64-passenger Yankee Clipper (1927), 74-passenger Flying
Cloud (1935), 126-passenger Polynesia (1938), and
120-passenger Legacy (1959). Those are the years when the
ships are built, not their last refurbishment. The
94-passenger Amazing Grace is a world of its own; the
freighter ship provides the sailing ships with supplies
and offers two-week-long cruises.
Windjammer
Barefoot Cruises offers a limited number of shipboard
positions, mostly deck hands, stewards, cooks.
