Brendon 0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You should keep your eyes on this forum. As has already been said quite a few yachts will be coming from the Islands down to NZ around November. And some of them will be wanting crew, there have already been a few notices here to that effect over the last month or two. The trick is in getting the first passage under your belt, a lot of owners are reluctant to take someone on without passage experience. I did my first crewing passage from Tonga to NZ last year, and am now planning to crew for someone this Nov from Fiji to NZ. Both were arranged through this forum. In both instances we have 3 on board, and the arrangement is that I get myself to and from the yacht at my expense, but once on board the owner supplies all food, fuel etc. I think this is a fairly standard arrangement however to get that vital first passage you may need to be willing contribute a bit more. If you don't get a passage this year then there is the return to the islands that occurs around March. Link to post Share on other sites
