Superyacht Interior Course

Not all Superyachts have specific Deck or Steward(ess) roles; many Superyachts require crew that can work in both departments. Our Superyacht Deckhand and Steward/ess Course provides the training, skills, and experience to apply for a Deck/Steward(ess) role.

If you would like to work on a Superyacht but are unsure what route to take, our Superyacht Deckhand and Stewardess Course provides the skills and qualifications to work in both departments.

Why choose the Superyacht Deckhand and Stewardess Course?

• Getting qualified as a Stew/Deck is popular with customers looking for a dual role on smaller yachts.
• At the start of your career, you may have hospitality or similar experience suited to the Stewardess position but would like to work outside and become a Deckhand.
• More and more customers choose to invest in additional qualifications to apply for specific Deck/Steward(ess) roles.
