How I Got a Yacht Job FAST With No Experience

Want to work on a superyacht but have ZERO experience? 🛥️

In this video, I’m sharing exactly how I broke into the yachting industry with no previous yacht experience — and how you can get started too.

I’ll walk you through the steps I took to land my first yacht job, including:

⚓ The courses and certifications you need, including STCW + ENG1
⚓ Where to move to give yourself the best chance of finding work
⚓ What crew housing is and why I recommend staying in one
⚓ How to find your first daywork and yacht job
⚓ Crew agencies and where to look for jobs
⚓ Dockwalking and networking
⚓ Facebook groups you should join
⚓ What I wish I knew before getting into yachting
⚓ My experience going from zero experience to working on superyachts

If you’re thinking about getting into yachting but have no idea where to start, this video is for you. You do not need previous yacht experience to break into the industry — but you do need to know where to go, what qualifications to get, and how to put yourself in the right place to get hired.

FACEBOOK GROUPS TO JOIN

These groups can be great places to look for daywork, yacht crew positions, and connect with other people in the industry:

→ Yacht Crew Wanted Facebook Group:
→ Yacht Crew Facebook Group
→ Yachting Facebook Group
→ Yacht Jobs Facebook Group
→ Yacht Crew Jobs Facebook Group

My biggest advice: getting your certifications is only the beginning. Put yourself where the yachts are, meet people, stay in crew housing, apply for jobs, take daywork when you can, and keep showing up.

Yachting completely changed my life and gave me the opportunity to travel the world while making money. Hopefully this video helps someone else take that first step. 🌎🛥️
