Maintenance volunteers
Are you interested in volunteering at Götheborg during our maintenance period? We are now looking for a few volunteers who have sailed with us recently and are willing to stay with us for 6-8 weeks.
Join us
We are now moored in our home port Gothenburg for the summer 2023. As we are currently not on expedition, it is not possible to sail with us, and we do not have any open positions for professional crew. However, stay tuned for opportunities to join us as a volunteer in port.
Sail with us
Anyone can sail with us as a paying deckhand and be part of a unique adventure on board the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world!
You are not required to have any sailing experience.
Professional Crew
To work and sail on Götheborg of Sweden is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of an exciting project and adventure, in an environment full of passion, creativity and drive.
Volunteer
Become a volunteer! Volunteers are essential for the maintenance of the ship when it is not sailing. As a volunteer you get the chance to learn the craftsmanship on board and be part of the adventure.
