WORLDWIDE > We’ve updated our blog post on ways members of Workaway and other work exchange platforms can make themselves useful to boat owners. See our full list of boat based work exchanges on our blog or check out the new ones we’ve added for 2023 below.
* Help us in the fight against marine pollution while traveling along the beautiful west coast of Norway - Join up with this NGO and you will be travelling along the deep fjords and high mountains of the Norwegian coastline tackling marine pollution. Beach cleaning and helping with the logistics of their pop up classroom used to educate local school children are the main tasks here. Their coming season is almost booked but apply anyway to join their waiting list for other dates. Or stay with Elena and Frode. They go out to sea in their own boat in most weather from a lighthouse located on a small island in the arctic part of Norway.
* Live aboard, learn how to sail, cook or help to repair sailboat on Caribbean side of Guatemala - Live in a marina on Dmitry’s sailboat. After the chores are out of the way, he will teach his new cook/housekeeper and handyperson how to sail. In the evening, watch the sunset, have a drink and get to know the community. There may also be the chance to continue exploring the world by joining the crew of one of Dmitry’s friends.
* Help us show this amazing place and live in a tropical paradise in Santa Catalina, Panama - Orcas, dolphins, manta rays, sharks, lots of turtles, and so many different kinds of fish are what you will see when volunteering with this snorkelling company that runs tours to Coiba National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are looking for volunteers to help show this amazing place to their guests. They welcome people with a variety of skills and experiences but you must be able to speak English and Spanish to volunteer here.
* Help me on my boat and experience ocean adventures in Ko Samui/ Ko Tau, Thailand - This is the perfect opportunity for you to come and live on a super yacht and experience the beauty of Thailand from the sea side, says Matthias, who has difficulties taking care of the boat alone and his girlfriend is starting to complain. Most of the work during your two month minimum stay will be concerned with cooking, cleaning, and maintenance. Boating experience is preferred but not required.
* Help us finish refitting our 33 foot Wauquiez boat in Cartagena, Colombia - From their boat Kiwani - meaning “person who likes to give a helping hand” - Via and Antione intend to work with local communities and farms and create content about off grid living. Currently, they are working on the boat so there are less opportunities to sail. Still, you could learn a lot here about construction, boat maintenance, carpentry, electricity, welding, fibreglass, and much more.
* Come help us repair our sailing ship and learn about boat-building in Actium, Greece - Consider this as a kind of internship in boat building, say Austrian-Swiss couple Ralph and Julia, and come away with some practical skills to use on your own home or campervan.
* Au pair help for a sailing family in Southampton, UK - Access to two English teachers is one of the perks here for volunteers looking to improve their language skills.
⭐️Pre School Teachers Wanted In Limassol
