What employers look forFrom the Valet guide
Valets are hired for skill and discretion more than sea time. Many come from butler schools, Savile Row tailoring, luxury fashion houses, private estates or hotel butler teams. Yacht stewards with strong laundry experience can move across too, especially if they have handled couture fabrics on a large yacht. Owners and their family offices often sign off the final choice in person, and references from earlier private employers count for a lot. Expect a non-disclosure agreement and background checks.
