What employers look forFrom the Yacht Agent / Port Agent guide
Agencies hire more former crew than anyone else. A stewardess with three seasons behind her knows what a chief stew needs before she asks, and an ex-deckhand understands berthing, fuel and tender logistics. Languages are essential: French on the Riviera, Italian in Sardinia and Liguria, Spanish in the Balearics, plus fluent English. People from hotels, travel and freight forwarding also get hired. Most agencies want EU right to work, a driving licence and someone who stays calm with a captain on one line and a customs officer on the other.
