What employers look forFrom the Baker guide
Captains and chefs hire bakers for their bakery CV, not their yacht CV. Typical candidates come from artisan bakeries, five-star hotels or Michelin kitchens, often with a CAP Boulanger, City and Guilds or similar qualification. You still need STCW Basic Safety, an ENG1 and a food hygiene certificate before you can join. Expect a trial bake or a portfolio request. Allergen knowledge matters, as does temperament: you share a cabin, work long weeks and must fit into a tight galley team without friction.

QuestionsSee what a Baker earns
What tickets should a Baker CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical certificate and Food Hygiene Level 2 first, each with the date it was issued. Then add Ship's Cook Certificate and Food Hygiene Level 3 if you hold them.
How long should a Baker CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
