Summary
TYS Recruitment is seeking an experienced and motivated Third Stewardess to join a well-established 55m private motor yacht currently operating in the Caribbean.
This is a lovely, stable program with excellent crew longevity, supportive HODs, and a hands-on Chief Stew who enjoys mentoring and developing her team.
Start date: Mid-March
Joining location: Caribbean
Salary: $3,500 per month
Leave: 42 days
Visa: B1/B2 mandatory and Schengen
Candidates: Female only due to cabin arrangements
The interior team consists of four stewardesses who rotate through housekeeping, laundry, and service. Strong proficiency in housekeeping and laundry is essential, along with a positive attitude and willingness to support all areas of the interior.
The successful candidate will ideally have at least 2 seasons of yachting experience on similar-sized vessels and be confident working within a structured, team-oriented interior department. The interior is a team of 4.
The vessel will remain USA-based for the summer season, entering a yard period in Fort Lauderdale from the end of May for a planned 4–5 month engine rebuild. From an interior perspective, this yard period is maintenance-focused only, with no major projects. Responsibilities will centre around interior upkeep and crew care. During the yard period, the incoming Third Stewardess will work closely with the Second Stewardess, as the Chief Stew will be travelling to the owners’ residence in Nantucket over the summer.
Itinerary
• Currently based in St Maarten until late February with a few short trips
• Owner trips in St Barths during March
• Slow cruise to the Bahamas in May
• Yard period in Fort Lauderdale from the end of May
The Program
The owners are a laid-back American family of six children. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and respectful, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and mutual support. Fishing plays a prominent role in the program, and crew who enjoy an outdoor, active lifestyle will thrive onboard.
The Captain and HODs have excellent longevity, contributing to a calm, well-run vessel with a positive crew dynamic.
Ideal Candidate
• Minimum 2 seasons of yachting experience on similar-sized vessels
• Confident in housekeeping and laundry
• Calm, caring, and hardworking nature
• A strong team player who enjoys a close-knit crew environment
• Enjoys an outdoor lifestyle and is happy to get involved in fishing, surfing, and exploring with the crew
