What employers look forFrom the IT Support Engineer guide
Yachts hire people with proven IT support experience ashore, usually two or more years on a helpdesk or in managed services, plus solid networking. CompTIA or Cisco certificates help a CV stand out. Discretion counts as much as skill, because you will handle the owner's devices and private data. Most IT support roles exist only on yachts above 80m, so competition is real and a previous superyacht season or AV installation background is a strong advantage.
