“She wasn’t a classic sailboat, but when the sails are furled up and she’s at dock, she basically has the room of a motor yacht,” says Darby, who purchased the boat in 2007. As a lifelong sailing enthusiast and developer of the luxury yacht marina Christophe Harbour in St. Kitts, Darby wanted a ship that combined traditional ketch features with the convenience and entertaining space of a modern superyacht. “For my needs, I got a sailboat that today would be considered a modern classic.”

Not that chartering a yacht is inexpensive. While smaller yachts can go for $21,000 per week, according to Valef Yachts’ Kathy Lefakinis, a superyacht charter could be well over $300,000 a week. “It’s not a cheap way to travel,” she admits, “but chartering becomes addictive. Our repeat clientele is huge.”

Many stories have been told about people who, with no trouble whatsoever, landed a job as a crew member in Alaska's fishing industry on a highliner fishing boat and made tons of money. There are published materials for sale which boast of lucrative jobs in canneries and on fishing boats. The reality is, that for every success, there are many failures.

The general response from a variety of our candidates is that friends of friends, internet searches, knowledge of Cruise Ships needing nurses and general word of mouth pointed them in the direction of yachting.

Working on-board a Yacht is a job like no other, from waking up in a different country each week to staring out at the beautiful ocean on your tea break. As a Nurse/Stewardess you will be expected to maintain the on-board Medical Ward and Nursing Stations. This would include stock take, ordering supplies and recording inventories. Depending on the Yacht Owners health you may be required for certain medical duties; otherwise your role will be on standby awaiting the need for Medical Attention. There may be another Nurse to work with and sometimes even an on-board Doctor on some of the much larger vessels.
