What employers look forFrom the Yacht Project Manager guide
Employers include management companies in Monaco, Antibes and Palma, refit consultancies, and some yards that run project management in-house. They hire people who know yachts from the inside. Former chief engineers are the most common route in, followed by captains, chief officers with refit experience, and naval architects or marine surveyors. A track record of two or three refits seen through from the crew side counts for more than a business degree. Fluent English is expected, and French, Italian or Dutch helps at the yards.
