You pay your own way to and from the boat and a daily rate for food/fuel, harbor expenses, etc. About $8 to $12 a day. Minimal experience required but you should know if you get motion sickness. Additionally you must post a bond, in many countries, equal to airfare home (about $1200 to $1500), though this is returned when you leave.
Boat is a 37' Lagoon Catamaran (owners version), watermaker, ssb, gps, radar, watermaker, etc. It is an easy sailing boat and in very good condition. Plans are to spend enough time in each area for water activities and hiking.
No drugs, smoking on deck only, light drinker and in decent health and condition.

For the record crew members do not have to post a bond with the authorities in the Pacific Islands of the South Pacific nor does the Captain/Owner for that matter. If a vessel enters a Island nation with crew the vessel must leave with all crew declared on the crew list. If not under their laws the Captain is responsible for all Accomondaton - meals - Transport- airfares, not the crewmember or crewmembers. So don't be sucked in by this person telling incorrect happenings in the Pacific Islands.
