What employers look forFrom the Yacht Crew Manager guide

Firms mostly hire former crew. Ex-chief stews and pursers are common because they already know rotas, contracts and difficult conversations. Ex-officers and engineers are valued for their grip on manning certificates and flag requirements. People from crew agencies and general HR also get in, but they need to learn quickly what a Y4 or an AEC covers and why a captain needs a relief engineer by Friday. You need to be organised and discreet, and calm on the phone at 2am.

QuestionsSee what a Yacht Crew Manager earns

What tickets should a Yacht Crew Manager CV list?

No ticket is required for a Yacht Crew Manager. List the qualifications you hold, newest first. Seagoing experience in a senior crew role and MLC 2006 training course help most.

How long should a Yacht Crew Manager CV be?

Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.

Can I copy this example CV?

Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: yacht employers check certificates and call references.
