The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

A private Family Office is seeking an experienced VIP Helicopter Captain for a yacht-based operation aboard a superyacht, operating on a dual-season basis between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. This is a newly established operation offering the opportunity to help shape it from the ground up.

The Role

• Single-pilot and multi-crew VIP/VVIP flying for the owner, family, and guests (Airbus H135)
• Deck landings (day and night) on the yacht's helipad, plus operations at private and public locations across both cruising regions
• Close coordination with the yacht's captain, crew and shore-side operations team
• Full responsibility for flight safety, operational standards and passenger experience at the highest level of discretion

Roster
3 weeks on / 3 weeks off, though in practice flexible around operational need — off time coordinated directly with the operating captain team rather than a rigid fixed pattern.

Requirements

• ATPL(H), current type rating or ability to obtain one
• Minimum 3,000+ total flight hours, meaningful twin-engine and deck-landing experience
• Prior VIP, yacht-based, or comparable high-standards operational background strongly preferred
• Class 1 medical, fluent English
• Based in Europe; flexible to reposition between the Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 8 points (from 67 before penalties). Reviewed 1 Oct 2026.
