Welcome aboard a unique and very special experience! We are thrilled to invite you to be part of our volunteer team, where you’ll have the opportunity to embark on a journey into the past aboard the Nao Victoria, the Galeón Andalucía, the Nao Trinidad, or the Pascual Flores. This is not just a call to action but an invitation to be part of something greater than oneself. We are constantly seeking passionate and dedicated individuals who wish to immerse themselves in the authenticity of bygone eras and share that experience with the rest of the crew. While the adventure promises unforgettable moments, we also acknowledge that every step counts. This volunteering requires dedication and effort, so not everyone is suited for this opportunity, and the reward goes beyond the tangible. As a volunteer, you will have all expenses covered aboard the ship: insurance, meals, and accommodation, in addition to getting to know a different city practically every week. But... we need a commitment from you. You must have a minimum availability of 3 months, be of legal age, in good health, and, of course, have a strong desire to learn, assist in all tasks on board, and live with the rest of the crew! you will play a crucial role aboard the vessels. You will learn and acquire extensive knowledge about traditional materials or craftsmanship on board. What is needed to keep a historic ship in good condition? What materials were used in those times and what is used today? What are the current navigation techniques? Tasks are varied and can revolve around anything: assisting with mooring and unmooring maneuvers; hosing and cleaning the deck and bathrooms; painting the hull; learning about nautical charts; washing dishes; standing watch; steering or assisting the public during our stays in port, among many other tasks. Active volunteer participation is crucial for the optimal maintenance of our historic vessels. Becoming a volunteer on board is not only a valuable opportunity to familiarize yourself with the ship, but also to acquire knowledge through interaction with others. Practical work provides an enriching experience, accompanied by a friendly environment where camaraderie is shared both with our permanent crew and other volunteers. This commitment will not only strengthen your connection to sailing but also provide you with practical skills in a collaborative setting.
