Yes, after we receive your information we will contact you to let you know if we need anything else and to set up a time for an interview.

It is always better to be in a yacht hub city when looking for work because you can have a better chance of finding a job. Most employers would like to do an interview in person, particulaqrly if you are new to the industry, but there many that do hire with only a phone or Zoom call.

In the US and Bahamas/Caribbean area, the busiest time to find work is during the Spring and Fall, but we also have jobs posted year-round. In the Mediterranean, the best time of year is March – May, when yachts start crewing up.

NO!! You should never agree to pay any fees for a job. If anyone ever asks for fees they are not real agents or recruiters and you should not deal with them.

Full time jobs can be for many years or until you decide to leave or as in some cases the boat sells. There are also short term seasonal and freelance positions which can be between a week and up to 3-4 months typically.

Pay can vary depending on the boat your experience and the position you take. For beginning Deckhands and Interior Stews the range is roughly $2750-$3500, and for Chefs it can be between $3500-$$7500 depending on experience. If you work on a charter yacht you could earn an additional $1000-$3500 per week in tips depending on the yacht size and charter amount.

A private yacht is used purely for the leisure of a yacht owner and guests.

A charter yacht is also a privately owned yacht but is booked during times the owner is not using. A lot like AirBnB, but a bit more expensive. On a charter yacht, crew may receive gratuities for providing excellent service.
