Working on Super Yachts
What is a career in yachting and what does it entail?
Working in the yachting industry can cover everything from the glamorous world of super yachts to hour long bay cruises with camera happy tourists. Either way the work is demanding and the competition for employment can be fierce. Balancing out the hard work and adventure is a lifestyle that becomes its own reward - life on the water is challenging and fun. We have had excellent success helping our students find work - we can do the same for you!
Why should you train through an official RYA/MCA training academy?
Like any industry, pay is linked to experience and qualifications. Salaries can range from poor to exceptional. To give yourself a head start, it is important to be qualified - the RYA?MCA training syllabus is the bedrock of standar disation in
the industry. The instructors at Ocean Star Sailing Academy have developed a series of career courses that cover the basic qualifications demanded of yacht crew to the more exacting standards for skippers.
