Ah, what a refreshing job listing! It’s not every day you see an ad seeking a Captain/Estate Manager who’s essentially expected to be a human Swiss Army knife. I mean, who wouldn’t want to sign up for a gig where you’re a Captain one minute, a mechanic the next, and then, whoops—now you’re a handyman fixing the estate in the Bahamas (while possibly juggling some flaming swords in between)?


Let’s not forget that you’re also expected to be an interactive social butterfly with guests, a physical specimen fit for kitesurfing, diving, and all the water sports you can imagine—because hey, who needs sleep when you’ve got the ocean to frolic in, right?


But wait, it gets better! I see you’ve left out a key skill that’s obviously implied: Michelin-star culinary expertise. I mean, surely you want your Captain/Estate Manager to seamlessly slide into the kitchen when the owner has a few dozen guests over. Because why wouldn’t your versatile Captain be able to whip up a 7-course tasting menu after a long day of managing boats, property repairs, and entertaining guests? Who needs a sous-chef when you’ve got Captain Jack-of-All-Trades?


Oh, and the cherry on top—this marvel of a candidate must, of course, be legal to work in both the US and Bahamas. Because if they can juggle boats, estates, and soufflés, surely navigating immigration laws is a breeze.


Best of luck finding this mythical unicorn of a candidate. Personally, I’d suggest adding fire-breathing and aerial acrobatics to the job description just to really filter out the riffraff.


Cheers! 🍹
