yacht crew jobs

Can you imagine...

It's six months from today, and you have now a job on board the yacht of your dreams. The sun is shining off the bright decks and the guests Ferrari is just pulling up on the quay, alongside the boat and you'll wait for them to come aboard before you set off on a charter around the islands.

You exchange a smile with one of the deckhands as you greet the owner of the boat, a multi billionaire who's surprisingly nice and you thoroughly enjoy working for him.


The last guests left two days ago, (leaving each of the crew a $5000 tip) and tonight you'll be taking the guests ashore to one of the best restaurants in the world.

By the end of the season you'll have saved enough money to buy a car or even have a down payment on an apartment - but more than that - you love your job, the people you work with and you're getting to see parts of the world that only the very very wealthy ever get to see.

Wow - if only your friends could see you now!!

(Of course we've left out the bit when you got seasick when the boat ran into scary storms in the Bay of Biscay! ;-)

Jen Did It! You can too!

Jen got her first job on a sailing yacht at age 18 where she worked as a deckhand/stew/chef in the Greek islands. She fell madly in love with the way of life and vowed to get some training under her belt and work in the industry full time.

Five years later she was back with vengeance and got her next job on a motor yacht working for a Formula One racing driver and she never looked back. She has worked for royalty, pop stars, politicians and millionaires and billionaires alike.

Her work has been featured in magazines and newspapers around the world including the UK broadsheets, The Telegraph and The Observer and the Hotel and Caterer

$$$$$

With her first seasons salary Jen and her partner travelled around Southern Africa for six weeks and within three years she had saved enough money to start a restaurant - purely because of her well paid job on a yacht.

"Just got back from lunch to find your e-mail- I was so excited!!
