What employers look forFrom the Sole Steward / Sole Stewardess guide
Captains want someone who has done at least one full season, usually as a stew on a bigger yacht, and can show they work cleanly without supervision. Silver service, wine knowledge and good laundry skills count for a lot. So does temperament. You are the guests' main contact for the whole trip, and on a small crew there is nowhere to hide a bad mood. Dual skills such as massage, cooking or a dive ticket make you easier to place.
