The Experience

Live on a 15m sailboat!I No sailing experience required. We will normally sail at least 1 day every weekend but there maybe be 3-4 day long trips off shore mainly to Catalina island 32 miles away. I expect you to help keep the boat clean inside and outside. If you can help with architecture and/or 3-D rendering using high detail graphic program, that would be great. This is available year round.

Tom is very kind and friendly. Having a boat as a stay was incredible and innovative. The time that I spent as a volunteer was full of great experience and opportunities, such as sailing on the sea. The location is excellent and beautiful.

Tom is an excellent person. We went to a beautiful New Year's Eve party at the Yatch Club. I am very grateful to have had such a special New Year's Eve. The location is excellent! The closest beach (5 minutes walk) is Venice Beach, the vibe is wonderful! From there you can walk to Santa Monica Pier (20min +-), which is beautiful!! Marina Del Rey is a sensational place. By car you are an hour from Hollywood, but you can also go by bus. The tasks are super simple, just organize the boat. Working hours are respected. Recommend!

Tom was and is amazing! I helped around with the boat, cleaned, waxed the outside and learned a lot about sailboats. Work freetime balance is great and i can't complain about anything. Thank you so much for the time and treating me this nicely throughout. I am happy to call you my Friend Tom! I hope to see you soon.
