What employers look forFrom the Chase Boat Captain guide
Owners and captains hire people who can be trusted alone with expensive boats and VIP guests. That means a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore at minimum, and Master 200gt for larger boats. They want strong close-quarters handling, solid diesel knowledge and a clean, discreet manner. Most candidates come up through deckhand and tender driving roles, often with watersports or dive experience. Former RIB or fast-ferry skippers also do well.
