Summary
Purser required for an incredible 100m+ private yacht. Dual season, busy programme, so not for someone who doesn’t thrive on being in a fast-paced environment. This role is not your typical Purser position. It is perhaps better described as more of combination of Interior Manager / Purser. Must be prepared for shore time / reconnaissance trips and time with guests.
The position is a time for time rotation, with a single cabin. Economy (repatriation) flights for each leave period, and medical insurance included.
Fantastic crew onboard, and excellent Captains, with great reputations and a wealth of experience behind them.
Candidates MUST have proven longevity 2+ years in a Purser role ideally combined with an Interior Manager role, on a +70m yacht, and at least 5 years working onboard yachts. Please do NOT apply if you have never been a Purser before! Preference will be given to those who have worked their way up through the ranks on yachts.
Looking for someone who’s hard-working, has great initiative, and excellent accountancy skills, and is accustomed to using yacht accountancy programmes. Must be confident in a guest-facing concierge role, and be strong in this area. A traditional Purser role in terms of duties – visas, crew flights, port clearances, immigration, administrative back up for the Captain, concierge, accounts & budgets, ship yard management, liaison with owner's office, brokers and management, etc. The difference, however, is that you will have the benefit of a full-time Assistant Purser, who will deal with the day to day smaller financial and admin operations, leaving you to focus on the bigger tasks, and of course, the Guests’ needs.
This role requires an individual with a calm demeanour and top-class organisational skills. Administrative and accountancy capabilities must be second to none. Someone with the confidence and natural ability to be guest-facing with a genuine smile, and a wish to deliver results to make their stay unforgettable. Concierge experience is a must. If you are the kind of Purser who prefers to stay behind a desk / behind the scenes, this would not be the position for you. This is a well-rounded Purser job that will expose you to all aspects of the role. A great communicator who can be part of an exceptional team.
Salary and benefits to be discussed at interview stages. Only those with outstanding references and good longevity need apply. Please NO yacht hoppers!
All essential certificates and visas must be valid and in good order.
Please do not apply if the above does NOT describe you.
