What employers look forFrom the Delivery Crew guide
Delivery captains hire people they trust to stay calm, stay sober and pull their weight when they are tired. Real sea miles count for more than certificates, though STCW and ENG1 are expected. Many people start through RYA sailing schools, offshore racing or daywork in Antibes or Palma, then get a first crossing through word of mouth. Fit, practical people with sailing experience, some mechanical sense and the ability to cook in a seaway get picked first.

QuestionsSee what a Delivery Crew earns
What tickets should a Delivery Crew CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training and ENG1 medical first, each with the date it was issued. Then add RYA Competent Crew or Day Skipper and RYA Yachtmaster Offshore if you hold them.
How long should a Delivery Crew CV be?
One page. Put your tickets, your start date and your most recent work on it, and leave out the rest.
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.
