YACHTING INFO
Our sound advice and knowledge to get you trained and ready for a job on a super yacht is built on first-hand experience working on Mega Yachts. We can offer you answers to all of your questions about the Super Yacht industry!
WHAT IS YACHTING ALL ABOUT?
Super yachting is an industry where the rich and famous of the world come to play, and do business. As such, you will be required to offer top 5* service, work long hours in the department you choose (more about that in the info talk), and look good doing it!
To get into this industry you will need to get some basic courses done as a minimum, head over to Europe, and start looking for work – all of which is NOT guaranteed to result in a job!
Your reward for all the effort and money put in, is an amazing salary and experiences of a lifetime. SA Yachties is here to give you some sound advice and tell you all about the details of yachting – before you go book expensive courses, only to find out maybe its not for you!
We are offering a really great, in depth look at yachting for each department – Stewardess (waitress/cleaner/housekeeper), Chef (food slave 😉 ), Deckhand (think.. washing 100 cars a day, and you are almost there), engineer (works under the boat, isn’t so pretty, cleans the pipes (yuk!), makes sure the boat moves and gets paid a lot to do it!).
If you’d like to know more about your particular field, please take a look at the preview to our videos.
