Summary
Rotational Chief Stewardess (Guest-Off Rotation)
55m Private Yacht | Dual Chief Stew Program | Start: 21st July 2025
We are seeking a capable, experienced, and proactive Rotational Chief Stewardess to work as part of a dual Chief Stew structure onboard a 55m private sailing yacht. This position is specifically for the “guest-off rotation” to start, meaning you’ll take the lead when the other Chief Stew (who currently manages all guest trips) is on leave.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who values consistency, strong back-of-house management, and a positive crew dynamic — someone who understands the value of keeping a smooth interior running year-round, even when the pressure of guest trips is off.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the interior during yard periods, crossings, or between guest trips
- Ensure continuity in standards, inventory, and interior projects
- Manage maintenance and deep cleans during down time
- Handle provisioning, re-stocking, inventories, and admin tasks
- Ensure smooth and professional handovers between rotations
- Train and support junior stews so they maintain consistency between guest trips
- Work alongside the Captain and department heads to prep for upcoming guest trips
Ideal Candidate Will Have:
- Chief Stew or strong 2nd Stew experience, ideally on similar-sized vessels
- Excellent organizational skills and a systems-based mindset
- Proactive attitude with the ability to self-manage projects and motivate junior crew
- A grounded, mature approach to leadership without the pressure of daily guest service
- Strong inventory, provisioning, and digital record-keeping skills
Requirements:
- STCW (up to date)
- ENG1
- Strong references from previous senior interior positions
- Bonus: AV/IT or purser skills a plus
Package:
- Rotation: time for time
- Salary: €4250.00 paid all year
- 6-month trial period (to include time to meet the owner)
- Flights and medical insurance
- Long-term program with room to grow in management capacity after successful meeting with owner
