Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Stewardess/Hostess to work on a lovely vintage yacht on the Thames for the season, running from mid April to the end of October 2026. With a great eye for detail and excellent interpersonal skills, you will provide outstanding levels of service to the owners and their guests on this Thames-based yacht.
Working alongside and reporting to the Skipper, you will ensure that the yacht is guest-ready and stocked for any day trips, organising catering to spec and arranging additional service staff when required.
