Hmm... Qu'est-ce qui indique qu'il s'agit d'un officier ? Les références que j'ajoute ne donnent pas cette idée du tout :)

Tony M
: Normally, in the Merchant Navy, it would indeed be an officer; however, in this specific usage, I think the term has a rather different meaning. / But I'm worried about 'embarqué' — it doesn't mean 'not on shore' (i.e. 'at sea') but offshore = au large

: Usually, yes; but the post of 'offshore mate' is something quite specific, without the 'qualified officer' status it has in the Merchant Navy. Just look at job descriptions for 'offshore mate', there are loads of refs. and explanations that make it clear.

Yes, but it is very surprising that nobody seems to be able to proof that, with the whole Internet at hand, without counting any general or specialized book... Strange...

: J'ai tendance à être d'accord avec Tony: comment peut-on "commencer" par être officier (à part qu'en sortant d'un collège militaire)? Il me semble qu'on cherche les échelons manquants...

Specialist job function in sport fishing
It must be noted that in the field of sport fishing, an 'offshore mate' has a very specific rôle, quite different from that of a 'mate' in the Merchant Navy, for example.
Note that here, 'offshore' refers to the type of fishing carried out, and opposes 'inshore' — this has nothing to do with being at sea or on land, nor does it necessarily relate to 'offshore' in the sense of the oil industry.
Here's a typical example of this type of work described by someone seeking a job:

In informal language, especially in family yachting, with small crews, 'mate' often just means a helper or assistant; traditionally, the head of the household is the 'Skipper' and his wife the 'Mate' — of course this is just casual, colloquial usage; but the use of 'mate' in the current context seems more akin to this sort of usage than the 'official' Merchant Navy officer status.

Maybe not quite, Asker. It would be risky to use that, as many of the refs. on the 'Net make a distinction betwene a specifically fishing assistant who helps with bait, lines, etc., and a general mate, how helps with hospitality etc. So although they are indeed an 'assistant' for 'pêche hauturière', it might perhaps be better to try to avoid the potential ambiguity of that word order, leading one to initially read it as 'assistant de pêche'

Note from asker:
So could it be something like "assistant de pêche hauturière" ? |
