Prospects for employment in the yacht industry will depend on your skills and experience.
There are different positions in a person can find work. The required skills can range from
a US Coast Guard master or mate license, engineer license, and STCW (Standards for
Training Certification of Watchkeeping). Yacht jobs can include experienced captains,
mates, engineers, chefs, stewards, stewardesses, and other positions. Naturally, with a
smaller the vessel, there may be more overlapping in responsibilities than on a larger
vessel.
The same on-line opportunities for finding a job with a ferry company or tugboat company
might not be there with yachting jobs because vessels are privately owned. And many
people don’t like to publicize the fact that they own a particular vessel. That’s why yacht
jobs are found through your personal network, word of mouth from other yacht crew, a
crew agency, or some of the on-line resources and databases out there for crews and
yachts.

Yacht Jobs This section is designed to help people find work aboard yachts,
megayachts, superyachts and other privately operated luxury vessels. The yacht industry
has seen tremendous growth, in size and number of vessels. The words megayacht,
superyacht are used so loosely, it’s difficult to distinguish the two, unless you're a naval
architect (naval architect jobs) or broker (link to a yacht broker - Fraser Yachts).
Jobs on large yachts are listed on yacht crew register . A yacht job may involve working
amidst luxury, but it’s a demanding job, despite the exciting ports, and be in the
company of very powerful and interesting people. Depending on the position, working
on a yacht can require competence in seamanship, management, supervision,
budgeting, small ship handling, navigation (jobs with Sperry) and more.
A yacht officer is responsible for the lives and safety of passengers and fellow crew
members. Working on a yacht can require practical engineering and mechanical skills
in the operation and maintenance of expensive diesel powerplants and their auxiliaries.
Luxury Yacht Jobs
A yacht officer is responsible for the lives and
safety of passengers and fellow crew members.
Working on a yacht can require practical
engineering and mechanical skills in the
operation and maintenance of expensive diesel
powerplants and their auxiliaries.
Working on a yacht can mean long hours in the
hot sun, or long stretches in the yacht’s galley
preparing creative meals for owners, guests,
and other crew. Working on a yacht can mean
an endless routine of washing, scrubbing,
polishing, sanding and painting. A yacht crew
must work together as a team and sometimes
take turns “wearing different hats”.
For some people, it can be an appealing
lifestyle. It can mean the pride of being
responsible for the lives and safety of all those
aboard a multi-million dollar vessel, as well as
responsibility for the vessel itself. It can mean
an unconventional lifestyle of working at sea.
For some, that can mean freedom, and for
others, it can mean longing to be with their
families on shore. It can mean being in charge
of some of the coolest water toys in the world. It
can mean getting a chance to see places one
might not have the opportunity to see with a
land-based job. But it can mean long work
days, standing watches at odd hours and
having to work harmoniously with a small group
of comrades within the confines of a vessel.
Finding work in the yacht industry can require
contacts. It can require credentials. Since
yachts are privately owned in many instances,
its not as if you can apply to a major cruise line.
Many yacht positions are filled through
agencies with knowledge of the industry and
relationships with vessel owners.

While it may
be one thing to WORK
on a yacht, the business of
SELLING yachts as a Yacht Broker
is a different line of work altogether.
Yacht Broker can mean someone who
dresses nicely with a blue wool blazer
and negotiates a deal for a classic 125'
Feadship. It can also mean someone
who wears blue jeans and tries to sell
a 1987 sailboat that a boatyard can't
seem to push off a cliff. There are
plenty of the latter type of brokers out
there, especially with the downturn of
the economy resulting in many small
boat owners who simply walk away
from their "treasure".

positions with Frasier Yachts.
