What employers look forFrom the Water Toys Specialist guide
Captains want a competent deckhand first. You still stand watches, handle lines, wash down and drive tenders. The edge comes from instructor ratings and mechanical ability. Common backgrounds are resort watersports instructor, PWC mechanic or dive professional. An RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency certificate and RYA Powerboat Level 2 are the minimum for driving guests. Kitesurf, wing foil or eFoil instructor ratings, and factory training from Seabob or Sea-Doo, set a CV apart. A calm, patient manner with children and first-timers counts for as much as the certificates.
