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?
Working in the super yachting industry is like stepping into another world — one where the ocean is your office and every day brings a new horizon. You’ll find yourself in stunning locations like the South of France, the Caribbean, or even remote islands most people only dream of visiting. The lifestyle sounds glamorous (and it can be!), but it’s also built on hard work, long hours, and discipline.
Life on board is all about teamwork. You’ll be polishing, cleaning, serving guests, or keeping the yacht running smoothly behind the scenes — and everything needs to be done to the highest standard. The rewards? You’ll gain valuable skills, earn good money, meet incredible people, and live experiences that stay with you for life.
That’s where South African Yachties comes in. We know the industry inside and out, and we’re here to guide, support, and prepare you for the journey — from training advice to getting that all-important first job. The yachting world is an adventure, and with the right mindset and guidance, you can make it your career.
