What employers look forFrom the Steward / Massage Therapist guide
Most people hired for this role are qualified therapists who have moved into yachting, or stews who have taken a massage diploma to stand out. Captains and chief stews want a recognised qualification such as ITEC or VTCT Level 3, plus real hands-on hours. Your service standard matters just as much. If you cannot polish silver, press linen and serve at a formal dinner, a strong massage CV will not get you the job.
