What employers look forFrom the Marina Manager guide

Employers hire two kinds of people. One is the former captain or chief officer who knows berthing, ISPS security and how yachts operate. The other comes from hospitality or facilities management and brings commercial and staff skills. Either way you need the local language, a solid grasp of health and safety law, and the calm to tell an impatient captain that the berth he wants is taken. French, Spanish or Italian alongside English opens most Mediterranean roles.
