About Julie Perry

Julie Perry spent three years as a mega-yacht stewardess, which took her to over 40 ports in 18 countries. And she can tell you how to do it, too. The first edition of her book, "The Insiders’ Guide to Becoming a Yacht Stewardess," has been a must-read guide for yacht crew since 2006. With the release of her updated, second edition, Julie hopes to continue to help wannabe “yachties” get into this awe-inspiring industry—if not simply entertain those intrigued by such a career path.
