After you have your certifications, you will need to draw up a CV and get a visa to allow you to work on the yachts. Following this, you will travel to the location and begin what is known as a dock walk. This involves walking the docks and meeting with crews to get hired. [links]
The application process for getting hired on a yacht is a little more complex than a regular job. You need to get certifications in boat and yacht safety to ensure you are prepared as well as specific training depending on the job you want to apply for. This could include food service, yacht maintenance and more. This is where previous experience and skills in hospitality, tourism, engineering or similar could come in handy. here
BUSINESS Waking up in places like the Bahamas, Greece, France or Italy can sound like a dream. However, for many people who work on billionaire superyachts, it is a reality. These hard-working crew members travel the world while working on luxury yachts.
This can all seem a little overwhelming at first and this is why new crew can use a service like Nomad Yachting who assist them through the entire process. [links]
So, how did I get into the yachting industry? Let’s rewind back to the ’90s on the north shore of Long Island. Every weekend in the summer was centered around boating. My family and I would often take overnight and weekend trips to Connecticut, Block Island, Mattituck, Port Jefferson, and Greenport. (New England is a prime spot for megayacht stopovers during the summer, so I was always around them. I just hadn’t had the idea of working on one … yet.) Over the years, we also cruised to places like the Caribbean, Canada, and Bermuda. Of all my favorite childhood memories, those boat trips are without a doubt at the top of the list. Friends would ask to hang out, and I would respond, “Sorry I’m going boating. Want to come?”
Hours in a dry suit comes with the job really
1200-1300: Lunch and break time!
Around 2400: Go to bed. (If the yacht is leaving port, I stop what I am doing to help out on deck with lines and fenders, a job that can take an hour or two.)

Cook – This position is suited to an individual who is less experienced as a chef but enjoys cooking. This would be a candidate who is happy to cook for the crew and guests (if required),and will be often used during off duty hours (for example if the chef is sleeping). Generally, not an individual role (unless the yacht is very big), this is a good skill for any of the main crew to have on their CV. more
Bosun – Sometimes referred to as the Leading Hand or Senior Deckhand, the Bosun is an experienced deckhand most likely able to take on additional and extra responsibilities. They tend to be the main tender driver and take additional responsibilities in security. Like a deckhand, less qualifications are required, but flexibility and the ability to take direction and blend into the team environment is very important.
Pilot – For the larger vessels, commercial and cruise yachts, access to the vessel is often by air (helicopter or seaplane). The larger vessels may well have their own aviation permanently stationed on the yacht, and in turn a pilot is required to fly the appropriate aircrafts. here
Beauty/Spa therapist – This is a role-specific with skills in line with beauty and holistic treatments. Superyachts will generally have an area for pampering and your role on the vessel is to satisfy the client’s needs. You would need to have traditional therapist qualifications, along with your yachting qualifications. It is often common to combine the role of 1st Officer/2nd Officer with a combination role. more
