From the pay to the people to the travel & adventure, this clever and entertaining career
guide covers all the perks that make luxury yachting such a dynamic and incredible career
path.
“Professionally trained yacht stews are more in demand than ever before,” says Perry. “This
isn’t because it’s not an amazing job, but rather, the awesome opportunity that exists to
work aboard luxury yachts is one of the best-kept secrets around.”
According to ShowBoats International magazine, a Fort Lauderdale-based yachting
publication, in 2006, there were 17.9 miles of new mega yachts (yachts over 80 feet or 24
meters) under construction in 25 different countries throughout the world. It is estimated
that 6,900 new crew will be required to fill the positions aboard these new boats
throughout 2007. Entry-level positions are available for deckhands, steward/esses,
engineers, and chefs.
“Many people don’t realize that they already possess skills that are essential to working on
a yacht,” Perry says. “Anyone trained in hospitality, auto mechanics, massage, culinary
arts, or a number of other things could easily make the transition to a career in yachting.”
