What you need to know |
Climate Change |
Infinity Volunteer Crew Questionnaire |
What you need to know before heading out to sea with the Infinity Sea Tribe:We put a strong emphasis on the community life and group interaction aboard Infinity. Important to us are: good vibes, good humor and a high degree of self-motivation, we value industrious personalities. Crew members should have good social and communication skills and be sensitive to others. We spend lots of time together as a group doing exercise, creative performances such as theatre, singing, games and much more. Everyone participates in maintenance work and typical sailor’s duties incl. shifts at the helm, raising the sails, cooking, regular cleaning, watch keeping, running and maintaining systems and machinery and so forth. However, no previous sailing experience is required as long as you are eager to learn and help. The sailing, maintenance, climate change program and communal life together require a high level of energy input and round the clock involvement. A policy of trial and notice period is applied: Within the first 4 weeks, the Infinity crew or the newcomer may decide to not pursue the voyage together, without any consequences or liabilities. We request 4 week notice should you decide to move on. If you fail to give the full notice and are actually leaving in less than four weeks, you will still be required to pay for the full 4 weeks. Participation is voluntary (no paid positions) and the crew joining the voyage make a monthly financial contribution to the project. Crew participating pay 850 Euros / month for the first 4 months, after the 4th month 750 / month. After a minimum of 8 months, a reduced participation may be considered for crew members taking on a high level of responsibilities and involvement. All onboard living expenses are covered: food, drink (except alcohol), lodging, fuel, mooring and clearance fees, in short everything except your personal expenses (for example, any tax or fees charged per head + visa costs are responsibility of the crew!). Monthly payments are made in advance and we ask a security deposit of 1000 Euros (we want to make sure people have enough funds to get home at the end of their journey). Sorry, the fee is not negotiable. Liability Waiver:Any new crew member joining Infinity has to sign the ship's articles and liability waiver. Medical and Travel Insurance:Everyone is responsible for their own medical and travel insurance. Please make sure that your travel insurance covers severe accidents and rescue abroad, and repatriation back to your home country in case that should become necessary (airline ticket + hospital and all emergency medical costs abroad). There are dozens of trip insurance companies. Infinity is well equipped with first aid kit, various medicines and suture and injection kit. However, please make sure you bring your own prescriptions. Check if you have the right inoculations for the countries visited. Passport:We advise you to have a valid passport for at least 2 years after arrival on the ship (for example, Marshall Islands requires validity of 1 year after entry). Visas:Also, please check embassies to see if your nationality needs a visa for each country visited. Many countries issue visas on arrival only if you have a return/onward ticket. If you are joining Infinity with a one way airplane ticket, let us know so that we can provide you with a letter signed by the Captain and ship registration copy stating that as a crew member you will leave the country by sea on the ship. This letter is equivalent to an onward ticket so entry should be granted to you without the airline company giving you any troubles. Important rules onboard:

CLIMATE CHANGE INITIATIVE
The Climate Change initiative is an evolving concept and reflects the crew’s interaction on Infinity.
This is an example of how such a workshop may come to life on one of the islands: Our possibilities increase as sponsors and partner organizations grant support and new motivated team members join the ship with fresh ideas, talents and abilities. With your help there is no limit to what we can achieve. |
