The process for finding a job on a luxury superyacht is similar to finding a job on any other yacht. Here are a few additional tips that may be helpful:
-
Consider specializing in a particular area, such as engineering, culinary, or hospitality. Superyachts often have highly trained, specialized crew members.
-
Obtain any necessary certifications or qualifications. This may include a STCW95 (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping) certification, a vessel operator's license, or other specialized training.
-
Create a professional and polished online presence. Many yacht crew recruiters and hiring managers use social media and online job boards to find candidates, so be sure to have a strong LinkedIn profile and any other relevant online profiles.
-
Be open to working on a contract basis. Many luxury superyacht jobs are contract positions that may last for a few months at a time.
-
Network and make connections in the industry. Attend yacht crew job fairs, industry events, and reach out to industry professionals to learn about job opportunities and make connections.
