We offer extensive and specialist courses for deckhands and interior crew that would like to gain practical experience and knowledge to boost their employability and ability to build a successful career. These courses are suitable for both new and experienced crew who would like to excel on board a superyacht.
Yacht Training Courses available:
10 Day Yacht Steward(ess) Academy 8 Week Yacht Deckhand Academy 12 Day Yacht Tender Handling Academy
This is an opportunity to gain extensive practical experience in all important interior duties. Our 10 000 sq ft training facility allows us to simulate real onboard duties under supervision by a chief stewardess with over 15 years of superyachting experience.
The course is designed for students who would like to gain real proficiency in their duties as opposed to being introduced to them during more traditional 3-5 day introductory courses.
Basic deck work practicals will be covered as well so that you are able to help during docking procedures and other deck department activities. This is a great opportunity to broaden your skillset and become an asset to all departments.
By completing the 10 day steward(ess) academy, candidates will have real practical experience usually only attained “on the job”. You will have references from captains and heads of departments, stating your capabilities . We do provide job assistance through our network to candidates who show competence and a strong work ethic.
Whether you are a new or experienced deckhand, completion of this course will allow you to take on more responsibility, impress your captain and increase the speed at which your career will progress.
It will allow you to build a significant advantage over other deck crew through decades of knowledge and experience, passed down by our captains, experienced deck crew, and specialist industry professionals. This is a unique opportunity to gain extensive knowledge and practical experience in tasks that can take years to become competent at, without a training program such as this.
Included in the academy are extensive line handling practicals, 10 days of practical tender handling, professional product training, polishing, paint & varnish application, theory, splicing, knots, and much much more.
When you obtain your driver’s license to drive a car, you are not ready to become a chauffeur for high-profile clients. The same applies to your Powerboat II or Rib Master license. A great deal of time behind the helm is required before driving with guests on board (especially on larger tenders).
The opportunities to gain the experience required can result in a long & drawn-out learning curve that can take years, especially on larger yachts, due to the increased number of deck crew.
We have designed our Tender Handling Academy to directly meet the standard required by the luxury yachting industry. It is a unique opportunity to gain confidence and competence so that you can take on more responsibility, open up additional job opportunities and ultimately progress at a much faster rate.
With 2 days of theory and 10 days of practical training behind the helm, you will be ready to take charge of this highly competitive position.
Gain an advantage over other crew and enroll today.

This school was the best investment for my yachting career. Irma is extremely thorough, and am so thankful for her. When I got my first job, my Chief stewardess was impressed that I already knew everything she was showing me. It was thanks to Irma. She did such an amazing job of helping me feel prepared. Not only was she my teacher, but she also is still a friend even after I’ve finished the course. She always texts to see how I’m doing. Anyway, thank you so much Savy!!!!!
I did the 8week deckhand course and the time they put into this makes a world of difference! The skills and everything I learned there I am confident to join a yacht, drive a tender, and help out with some repairs!! I joined the industry a year ago and wish I did this academy first. Everyone cares so much and more then willing to go the extra mile for you. I had Nick and Doug as my teachers and they were amazing and found all kinds of different ways to explain anything asked to make sure you would understand it. I had a great experience and would 100% recommended!!!!!
I am beyond impressed with Savvy Maritime Academy! I left this academy with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to begin my yachting career. Irma is an exceptional instructor full of enthusiasm and motivation to help others be successful. With many years of yachting under her belt, she is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. Brian takes the time to get to know every student who comes to train and his passion and effort to make every person succeed is very apparent and refreshing. I’m just blown away with the amount of support and knowledge they provided me during my training. The hands-on approach, in-depth practical training helped me jump in to my first job with confidence. My first day of working, I was asked to do some skills I learned in the academy that I was so excited to come in and practice right away!
I highly recommend Savvy Maritime Academy a thousand times over! I really enjoyed my experience and getting to know the instructors in my training. I can’t imagine not having done this course prior to working in the yachting industry! A MASSIVE THANK YOU!
I love this Academy. Irma the class instructor is very knowledgeable about the LUXURY yachting industry. Their hands on approach to theory and practically training makes it easy to transition into yachting. They help boost your confidence, which helps you execute your skills at a high level. I have learnt so much in those 10 days about yachting, life lessons and the industry. Brian is also an amazing individual with his dream of bring kindness and courtesy to yachting. Teaching us that showing politeness in one’s attitude and behavior toward yachting is most important. Overall the entire staff at Savvy Maritime Academy are warm professional, knowledgeable and ready to serve you. I will definitely recommend this institute for anyone want to learn the correct way of yachting!
I’d done the 2 weeks course with Irma, Nick & Brian. My experience was awesome. I’ve learned so much from all of them. Irma is an exceptional High end service teacher. After over 20 years working in the industry she has a lot of knowledge and shares it with love. I’ve even had fun learning how to proper make a bed! Haha
I highly recommend this courses. Not only for the industry. You can use it for many other things. You would learn a lot, even people skills. I promise.
Thank you Savvy! With love, Sol (Argentina)

Become a competent deckhand with practical experience in duties essential to your role by completing our training program.
Length of course is dependant on the candidates level of ability at the start of the course
Gain a significant advantage over other deck crew by building years of knowledge and experience combined into an 8-week intensive course led by captains, experienced deck crew, and specialist industry professionals. This is a unique opportunity that will allow you to gain extensive knowledge and practical experience in tasks that can take years to become competent at without a training program such as this.
Being prepared for your role as a deckhand on board will allow you to excel at your position, take on more responsibility, and ultimately see a return on investment within just a few months. This course will allow you to take charge, stand out and build a successful career.
Practical training is done at our 10 000sq. ft facility, on our tender, and on locally based yachts & superyachts that we have access to.
Gaining practical exposure to a broad range of deckhand duties takes time. Becoming competent at these tasks takes practice. We provide a unique opportunity for you to refine your deckhand skills under the supervision of captains and experienced deck crew.
A few points covered:
As a deckhand, it is important to have an understanding of the safety systems and operations, be familiar with the bridge and watch duties, as well as use some basic navigational tools.
Having a good grounding in the above, allows you to take on more information from the start and ultimately increase your competency and the value that you add onboard. Learning the above can take time on the job and it is hugely beneficial to be familiar from the start.
A Few Topics Covered Relevant to Deckhand Duties:
We have designed our Tender Handling Academy to specifically address the needs of the deckhands and other yacht crew working in the and superyacht industry. It is a unique opportunity to gain confidence and competence so that you can take on more responsibility as a deckhand and apply for jobs that require tender handling experience (a Powerboat Level II or Rib Master does not count as tender handling experience).
With 2 days of theory combined with 8 days of practical training, we will ensure that you are exposed to all avenues of superyacht tender handling so that you can step into your deckhand role with confidence.

Great training, super friendly and helpful staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Best place to go to for super yacht training, if i ever need to do additional training in the future I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Sarah Woodger – Stewardess
SCA was excellent from registration through to wrapping up 2 and a half weeks of hands-on courses. The breadth of experience the instructors shared with the classes throughout the STCW, Deckhand and Powerboat courses was honest and realistically portrayed the industry and what to expect as a newcomer. Very much worth the cost for the practical experience gained from ex crew members themselves. Thanks team!
Gerhard Meiring – Deckhand
I did the STCW95+10 with Superyacht Crew Academy. It was a great course, very thorough with the information, the practical days were very good, you will learn a lot from this course.
Michelle Maricic – Stewardess
i had a really great experience with the super yacht crew academy and would recommend it to anyone wanting to join the industry
Anastacia Buhagiar – Stewardess
“Thank you for all the help and support that you gave me when i was studying with you. it was amazing and I will no doubt be visiting again hopefully at the end of next year when I come to do my Yacht Master OffShore. The Boat has offered me an awesome opportunity to learn all there is to learn as well as an awesome salary, benefits, and program. Not to mention the crew are a happy bunch of people and we are like a large family…. I have learned that the crew makes the boat and that is the main thing, not the salary, benefits or program!”
Joshua McCouat – Deckhand
“I am so excited!!! I went for my first interview yesterday afternoon at an agency and got a call from them later on advising that they’d put me forward for a 2nd stewardess position and to expect a call from the captain. He rang this morning and we met at Starbucks and… they are flying me up on Friday! It’s happened so fast, but it felt right. The yacht is currently in Norfolk, Virginia and we will be heading out very soon to spend the season in New England. The captain was really laid back and very forthcoming. Apparently the yacht is privately owned by a wealthy guy (obviously) and isn’t chartered out very often. Mostly they do cocktail parties. He thinks we will be in the Mediterranean next year although he is waiting on confirmation from the owner. The pace on the yacht seems very relaxed. It will be a great place for me to learn as much as possible. I am so keen to get started. Thank you!”
Carlie – Stewardess
Such an incredible experience with the most amazing and helpful instructors. Would highly recommend Superyacht Crew Academy to help you start your journey in this industry!
Tayla McIntyre
“In my first interview I got offered a job! I really liked the chief stewardess so I am on a 43m private Superyacht for the season. I have been on the boat for two weeks and so far all is going well. I am looking forward to a good season and I will be home for Christmas. Two other people who did the course with me, Emily and Adam also got jobs very easily! Thank you again for all of your support and giving us a great head start!”
Ashtyn Leary – Stewardess
“Everything is going GREAT for me over here! We have travelled from Fort Lauderdale all the way along the East Coast up to Labrador, Canada over 4000 miles so far. My roster is split so I spend the first part of the day as a deckhand and the second part of the day as the second stewardess onboard a 154 foot SuperYacht. The owners are fantastic. I really enjoyed the interior crew course and feel so much more prepared for my stewardess role.”
Katie Ford – Stewardess and Deckhand
“I was totally impressed by the STCW training I received at the Superyacht Crew Academy. The instructors were excellent, the equipment top notch, and I truly feel confident that I would perform well in the case of an emergency aboard ship. Thank you Chris and Deb for being so helpful to me. As a foreign student coming to Australia for this training, your kindness was extra meaningful. I am now a Superyacht Agent in Noumea and spend a lot of time aboard superyachts. Even though I am not a member of the crews, my STCW training is right there in the back of my mind just in case there was an emergency; especially when refuelling, helping resupply the medical equipment or moving heavy equipment on and off the superyachts.”
Chloe Morin – Super yacht Agent Noumea Ocean Services
“I have been on a Superyacht for six months and I absolutely love it! The crew is great and the owners are wonderful. We left Florida two weeks ago and we are on a three month trip over to California! We made a stop in Cuba and the owners invited all of the crew to go on day trips with the guests to sight see! Now we are in the Cayman Islands. From here we head through the Panama Canal and then we go to Panama City, Papagallo Peninsula Costa Rica then Cabo San Lucas, before we end up to Southern California. This is such a great experience for me. I do stewardess work, cook for crew and guests, handle lines when docking and leaving as well as watch shifts while we’re underway. I just wanted to say thanks again for all the valuable training I received in my classes! Thank you!”
Jessica Benway – Stewardess
“You are by far the most professional and successful training facility that I have dealt with around the world. Keep up the amazing work!”
Nick Smith – Chief Officer M/Y Akula
“My experience with Superyacht Crew Academy was amazing. I had a fantastic time on the deck crew course and learnt a lot more than I expected.”
Tom Armstrong – Deckhand
“I just wanted to say thank you to the staff at Superyacht Crew Academy. I am currently working on a 43m M/Y Eclipse which is situated in Israel during the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer. I am heading into my third week here, now crossing to Genoa, Italy for the boat show. I am a 3rd stewardess and loving it. We are now in Kotor in Montenegro near Croatia and it is absolutely stunning. I am loving my job and have been lucky enough to rotate with duties and will be doing service this week, in a few hours actually. Thank you for all your help!”
Lauren A – Stewardess
” I thought I would give you a quick update on my adventures. I’ve just finished a cruise on an expedition vessel and am back in Antibes looking for a new position as a stewardess. Thank you for the casual work experience I did while completing my interior course. It’s definitely a lot better now that I have the right qualifications and some experience. I’m finding that there is so much more available to me.”
Natasha Harris – Stewardess
“The instructors were excellent, very professional and thorough. My training at Superyacht Crew Academy made my job as stewardess aboard the Tango possible and enjoyable. It really helps to have the inside story from experts before you begin. I’m happy to recommend the Superyacht Crew Academy to anyone interested in working in this industry.”
Haley – Stewardess M/Y Tango

How to kickstart your career as a yacht stewardess.
Are you dreaming of a job that allows you to travel the world, work on luxurious yachts, and make lifelong friendships? Look no further! Becoming a yacht stewardess might just be the perfect career choice for you. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of how to become a yacht stewardess and embark on a thrilling and rewarding journey.
Before diving into the details of how to become a yacht stewardess, let’s first understand what this role entails. Contrary to popular belief, working as a yacht stewardess is not like working on a cruise ship. While cruise ships accommodate thousands of passengers and crew members, yachts are more intimate and cater to a select number of guests.
As a yacht stewardess, your primary responsibility is to provide impeccable and personalized service to the yacht’s guests. Whether it’s ensuring their comfort, attending to their needs, or creating a memorable experience, you’ll play a crucial role in making their time on board exceptional. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for housekeeping, service, laundry, and other tasks that contribute to the overall smooth operation of the yacht.
Working as a yacht stewardess comes with a myriad of benefits that make it an attractive career choice for adventure seekers. Let’s explore some of these benefits:
Say goodbye to rush hour traffic and monotonous commutes! As a yacht stewardess, your workplace is constantly changing, and you’ll wake up in a new and exciting location every day. Imagine starting your day on a remote Caribbean island or enjoying a Mediterranean sunrise in the French Riviera. The world becomes your office, and your daily commute becomes an adventure.
Working on a yacht means living and working in close quarters with a tight-knit crew. You’ll form deep bonds with your colleagues, creating a unique sense of camaraderie and friendship. When you’re off-duty, you can explore new destinations together, indulge in water sports, or simply relax on the yacht’s deck.
Not only do you get to travel the world, but you also get paid well for it. Yacht stewardesses can earn substantial salaries, with starting wages ranging from €2500/month and upwards. Depending on your experience and the size of the yacht, you may even receive tips on top of your salary. Some positions may also offer tax-free income, adding to your financial benefits.
Life on a yacht is far from ordinary. Each day brings new experiences, whether it’s meeting interesting people, witnessing breathtaking sunsets, or exploring exotic locations. You’ll have the opportunity to attend glamorous events, host cocktail parties, and immerse yourself in the vibrant yachting lifestyle. Brace yourself for a thrilling and ever-changing adventure!
Now that you’re familiar with the role and the enticing benefits of being a yacht stewardess, let’s dive into the steps you need to take to kickstart your career.
Before embarking on your yachting journey, it’s essential to pack wisely. As space on a yacht is limited, it’s crucial to travel light. Opt for versatile, lightweight clothing suitable for various climates. In warmer regions like the Caribbean, pack light jackets and comfortable summer attire. If you’re heading to the Mediterranean, consider bringing warmer clothes for cooler evenings. Remember, you’ll be sharing a cabin with limited storage, so choose a foldable bag instead of a bulky suitcase.
To pursue a career as a yacht stewardess, you’ll need to take the leap and quit your current job. Embrace the excitement and possibilities that lie ahead, and don’t hesitate to leave behind the traditional 9-5 routine. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you open yourself up to new adventures and opportunities.
To increase your chances of finding a job as a yacht stewardess, it’s advisable to be in a yachting hub during peak hiring seasons. The two primary yachting seasons are summer and winter. In summer, yachts flock to the Mediterranean and the North East of the USA, while winter is dominated by the Caribbean. Plan to be in Fort Lauderdale, USA by October/November for the Caribbean season and Antibes, France, or Palma De Mallorca in April/May for the Mediterranean season.
During your time in these yachting hubs, consider staying in crew houses specifically designed for aspiring and experienced crew members. Crew houses offer affordable accommodation, a chance to connect with like-minded individuals, and an opportunity to unofficially start networking.
Before you can work as a yacht stewardess, you must complete essential safety training courses. The most important course is the Standards of Training and Certification of Watchkeeping (STCW 95) or STCW basic safety. Additionally, you’ll need to obtain your Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) certification. Look for reputable training schools in the yachting hubs mentioned earlier, such as our agency Remember, networking is crucial during these courses, as you may meet professionals in the industry who could potentially hire you.
To ensure your fitness for working on a yacht, you need to obtain an ENG1 medical certificate. This certificate is essential and supersedes any other medical examination. Book an appointment with an approved ENG1 doctor in advance, as waiting periods can be lengthy during peak seasons. Fort Lauderdale, being a yachting hub, has several qualified ENG1 doctors to choose from.
When applying for yacht stewardess positions, it’s crucial to have an impressive CV that stands out from the competition. A yacht stewardess CV should showcase your skills, experience, and personality. Make it visually appealing by incorporating color and an attractive layout. Include a professional photo of yourself, an engaging “About Me” section, and details about your availability and current location. Don’t forget to mention your interests and hobbies, as they contribute to your personality and suitability for life on a yacht.
If you need assistance in crafting the perfect CV, consider reaching out to agencies like Yachtie Careers . They offer valuable guidance, STCW training, and other services to help you navigate your path to a successful yacht career.
Once you have a polished CV, it’s time to get it in front of potential employers. There are several avenues you can explore:
Remember, persistence and a positive attitude are key in this competitive industry. Keep refining your CV, attending industry events, and utilizing online resources to maximize your chances of landing a yacht stewardess position.
Congratulations! Your impressive CV has secured you some interview opportunities. Now it’s time to prepare and shine during the interview process.
First impressions matter, so dress professionally and appropriately for your yacht stewardess interview. Opt for a tidy hairstyle, light makeup, and a polished appearance. Wear a polo shirt paired with a skirt, skort, or shorts in navy, black, or beige. As interviews often take place on yachts, it’s acceptable to wear flip flops or boat shoes, as you’ll be expected to remove your shoes before boarding.
During the interview, the interviewer wants to assess your compatibility with the existing crew. Let your personality shine by being friendly, enthusiastic, and confident. Demonstrate your willingness to learn new skills and adapt to the yachting lifestyle. Remember, the interview is not only about your qualifications but also about your ability to fit seamlessly into the dynamic yacht crew environment.
Even if you don’t have previous yachting experience, you likely possess transferable skills that are valuable in the industry. Emphasize your customer service abilities, attention to detail, and organizational skills. Mention any relevant experience in hospitality, event planning, or personal assistance. Your ability to provide exceptional service and meet guests’ needs is highly sought after in the yachting world.
At the end of the interview, the interviewer will typically ask if you have any questions. Take this opportunity to show your genuine interest and curiosity about the role and the yacht. Ask about the yacht’s schedule, the current crew’s dynamics, and any specific details about the job. Thoughtful questions demonstrate your engagement and enthusiasm for the position.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully landed a job as a yacht stewardess. Now it’s time to immerse yourself in this exhilarating and unique lifestyle.
As a yacht stewardess, you’ll be sharing living quarters with your fellow crew members. It’s essential to adapt to the shared spaces and practice good etiquette. Respect your crewmates’ belongings, keep shared areas clean, and be considerate of others’ schedules. Living harmoniously with your crewmates contributes to a positive work environment and enhances everyone’s experience on board.
Working on a yacht grants you access to extraordinary experiences and breathtaking destinations. Embrace every opportunity to explore new places, try new activities, and meet interesting people. Participate in water sports, attend glamorous events, and enjoy the stunning sunrises and sunsets that accompany life on a yacht. This is your chance to live life to the fullest and create memories that will last a lifetime.
As a yacht stewardess, there is always room for growth and improvement. Take advantage of training opportunities and seek out additional certifications to enhance your skills. The yachting industry values continuous learning, so invest in your professional development to advance your career. Stay updated on industry trends, attend workshops, and network with fellow professionals to expand your knowledge and open doors to new opportunities.
Becoming a yacht stewardess is a thrilling and rewarding career choice for those seeking adventure, travel, and a chance to create lifelong friendships. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can embark on a journey that allows you to explore the world, provide exceptional service, and embrace a unique lifestyle. So pack your bags, get ready to set sail, and make your dreams of becoming a yacht stewardess a reality!
