Superyacht Crew placement and career opportunities on superyachts
Super Yachts are built to last and every year more are added to the fleet. Yachts from 30 to 60 meters in length are numerous, and yachts 80 meters and larger are becoming more common. If all of the yachts now under construction were lined up bow to stern, they would stretch for a distance of 14 miles! Many of these are in the Mega Yacht classification and will need professional crew as soon as they are launched.
Old or new, they must be maintained and operated in top condition. Changes in insurance policies and international and national maritime laws make it mandatory for professional crew members to be fully qualified for their positions. If you have the appropriate attitude and ability to operate and maintain these luxury vessels you can be assured of rapid placement.
How to begin your new megayacht career -
