What employers look forFrom the Service Steward / Service Stewardess guide
Captains and chief stews want one or two seasons as a stewardess, ideally including a busy charter season, plus hospitality work ashore. Silver service, fine dining restaurants, hotel butler training and cocktail bars all count. WSET Level 2 or 3, proper barista skills and a polished appearance help a CV stand out. You will need STCW Basic Safety, an ENG1 medical and usually Food Hygiene Level 2. Charter yachts value calm under pressure. Private yachts value discretion and a good memory for each guest's preferences.
