What employers look forFrom the Yacht Manager guide
Most yacht managers spent ten years or more at sea first. Captains, chief officers and chief engineers are hired because they know how a yacht really works and can tell when a yard quote is padded. Former pursers do well too, as do people from commercial ship management, marine insurance or finance. Employers want strong written English, confidence with spreadsheets and accounts, and a calm manner with owners. French or Italian helps in Monaco and Antibes. Spanish helps in Palma.
