Chief Officer jobs on superyachts
Chief officer is second in command: watchkeeping, safety and drills, deck maintenance planning, crew supervision, and standing in for the captain. On larger vessels the role is heavily compliance-weighted.
It is the last step before command, and the point where tonnage limits on your CoC start deciding which boats you can take.
