What does a Yacht Stewardess do?

The stewardess on board a superyacht is a diligent worker with a positive, can-do attitude that takes instruction well and pays impeccable attention to detail.

A stewardess maintains the interior of a superyacht and provides five-star service to its owners and guests. On charter or owner trips, the interior team manages beverage and meal service, housekeeping, and laundry, all with the most pristine detail.

Your duties may include cabin preparation, setting tables, arranging flowers, and cleaning all areas of the yacht’s interior. You will help the deck team moor (park) the yacht sometimes.

While the job entails a high level of enthusiasm and long hours, a stewardess is rewarded with the opportunity to see the world, make friends, and learn valuable life skills. 

What does a Superyacht Stewardess earn?

On average, a junior yacht stewardess can expect to earn between € 2950 and € 3 440 per month, depending on the size of the vessel they are working on. This could be someone who has never worked as a stewardess before or has spent a short time in the role.

As you gain more experience on a larger yacht, this may mean a promotion to second stew, sharing some responsibilities with the chief stewardess – earnings can increase to an average of between € 3440 – € 5420 per month. Again, your yacht stewardess’s salary at this level depends on the size of the yacht, your training, and your certification.

In the senior role of the chief stewardess, the salary is between € 4910 to € 8850 + per month, with the job requiring by far the most responsibilities of the interior team.

The typical yacht stewardess’s salary varies from yacht to yacht. However, these estimates provide a rough idea of how you can progress.

What does the Stewardess Course Entail?

Ocean Star Sailing Academy provides you with what is considered within the industry to be the minimum training and certification needed to find work as a stewardess.

Industry professionals with several years of experience instruct our students. Included in the stewardess course are wine appreciation and cocktails, flower arrangements, silver service (as well as a silver service lunch/dinner where you demonstrate your newly learned skills), industry and visa knowledge, laundry services, detailing the interior of the yacht, constructing a CV specific to the industry and an introduction to barista training.

Seven-Star service is expected, and we work to ensure our students are fully prepared before starting their new careers.

More importantly, we are industry leaders in preparing our students for the challenge of finding work.

Give yourself the edge by completing the Stewardess Career Course.

The twenty-day Stewardess Career course starts with five days of Intensive Stewardess Training.

This training provides knowledge and practical skills such as food and wine pairing, silver service, detailing housekeeping, and flower arranging.

During the five-day portion of the course, you will get assistance with the interviewing process, creating a CV, and day work references.

This is followed by the STCW (Standards of Training for Crew and Watch), where students learn basic first aid, fire-fighting, life-raft training, and safety awareness.
