Hi send me if you any link can I apply I have worked experience 8years on yatch

Nice video. Matthew what do you think if I am a carpenter on a cruise ship. I am working for 3 years. Can i hope to get a job as a carpenter on yacths? Also, what is the year limit for entering to yacht industry as carpenter? Thanks man u do a nice job.

What do you think about going to a maritime college? 4 years and you will be out with a 3rd mate USCG license of unlimited tonnage? If get my license in that I know I can work in cargo ships but my question is am I eligible to work in supper yachts?

Curious to know why you chose a banana for a snack while looking for a job on a boat.

Thank you for the video! If it is possible, can you prepare a video about gelcoat repair, painting and fairing?

awesome video. really insightful.

Thank you!

Alot cheaper than a university degree, and you'll definitely get a much higher starting salary (doing something you presumably like)

Thank you

I don’t know anything about yachts or foreign ships and licenses, but I find 60 months to be truly unbelievable. I’m the US we have to have sea time and even working 180 days a year on a commercial ship that almost never stops it takes many many years to get the 1080 days underway to upgrade from an AB to a 3rd mates license. Judging by the fact that at least the yachts I see are moored considerably more then they are underway, it seem like it would basically be impossible to accumulate the sea time working on one?

Great video! I wonder why did u wrap 2 rounds before figure 8 at 8:40?

Nice content! Is it possible to request more videos about topics which I'd like to learn?

@workonaSuperyacht I have one question am 23 years old and I finish the college of merchant ship more than 500 tons and I have already the 3 officer degree from the cyprus flag ,and am thinking to continue in yachts , if I will go I will be as OOW ?

I came across your channel a couple of years ago, having landed myself a season of work on a yacht, both as crew and as the on-board wildlife guide (I have a background in zoology and ecology, specialising in marine mammals). I was feeling like I needed a change, as I had just completed my undergraduate study. Your videos gave me so much insight into what was going to be required of me onboard, and I carried that knowledge forward. I completed the season, and loved it, but I chose to go back to university rather than continue immediately in the industry, to complete a masters degree, as I thought I could always go back to yachting, but I might not always feel like I could go and study more, and I knew that working at sea was going to be a part of me now moving forward. Since, I have taken ad-hoc opportunities to crew on yachts for short periods as and when they come up, and have taken opportunities to work onboard research vessels also, in line with my studies, and have completed yacht-work related qualifications in my spare time, and I am now doing a PhD. My end goal, and I can say that if it weren't for these videos I might have never ended up in this position, is to complete my PhD programme and then transition to setting up my own cruise company, based where I have experience of sailing, and sharing the natural world with guests. Thanks Matthew, your videos have been excellent for me 👍 To clarify, I can attest that it was a very different yacht to the one pictured that I worked on, and it was a seasonal position that was advertised - had it not been, there was very little chance that I would have been taken on. Both I and the employer were aware of the situation and the terms of me taking the position though!😅

I'll send this to my officer friends who want to become yachtie. Love the contents!

A good video to raise awareness. I want to add something: like you said it’s a well know fact, none of HOD wants to go to the circle process hiring-training-losing. What about the others people involved in the « well running yacht » management company/brokers/owners ? Everybody should be focus on the same line from each part of yachting industry. Most of a lot of yacht need a permanent crew onboard, a full time position, rotational position, sometimes some additional crew.

What a bore

why is crew turnover in yachting industry among junior crew a problem?

Well seems like i am screwed. No hospitality background, and no experience on the sea. I would have been down to do all the courses, even planning to go to Antibes. I dont know if its possible to enter the industry with those credentials Rip i guess Thanks for the video matthew

Probably one of the best videos you’ve done. Excellent presentation and content.

You are so right Matthew, the Industry needs to be 'professional' and rid itself of the 'Below Deck' image, yacht crew are there to work and not on a paid holiday. Long term articles such as that are destructive, what Captain, Chief Officer, Chief Stew is going to employ anyone that has been on that training after a negative experience with 'gap year' paid tourist, who thinks they are on a summer long party rather than being a professional mariner.

Never worked in yachting, but it is a lifestyle, not simply a job that you can start and stop when you want.

Great Video as Always Matthew. What you've said and JoeC4871 commented on, I totally agree with. Its great that there is someone like you who sticking up to the highest standards the industry is striving for and defending it, at the same time educating anyone about the reality of the industry. I hope they get to see this and think about the content they are creating and think about, is this content true and accurate and does it help us (the company) and the audience, whom ever they may be. Nice to see some clearing up the facts. Thank you for your video.

Dude has a hell of a way of explaining things. I like it. He said " if wanna live away from home, just leave home" classic. I have to find a reason to use that line.

Do you have any experience with yachting as part of a gap year? If so, I'd be very interested to hear more about it.

why. you. saying, words. se. pa. ra.telly?

Thx a lot for the advice!

Very encouraging advice sir. Thankyou

This was the easiest video on the eye splice I've seen so far. The black rope was a little hard to see, but I like the way you highlighted the part to tuck under. The finishing technique was nice, too.

why are your hands shaking (3:47)?

If you own the superyacht can a captain sign off the requirements.

Good Day Sir. I'm from Philippines, I graduated In a of Marine Transportation. I also have experience in Domestic here in the Philippines. It's my dream job to work in Yacht's, but it's really hard to apply here 😔 what should I do?

i have work experience with cargo ship around 10 year want to be a part of yatchs for this I have done some additional courses or something else someone plzz guide me

excellent

Sorry to bother you again matt, but whats the best time of the year to start looking for a deckhand position? Considering i am from italy, im willing to relocate if necessary to Antibes, if it makes it easier. What's your advice? What's the best period, which months of the year should i start looking? Is it even feasible for me even if i dont have any experiences in the field? Is it possible to find it even with just an eng 1/stcw/powerboat?

I've listed myself for yatch racing in Cape Town, so hopefully every Wednesday I'll be competing in 10mi races on SY

Thanks man...your advice can be applied to other careers as well...hope youre having a great day

Thanks for being real with us man

thanks for sharing the secrets of keeping the super yachts clean...

What about if you have (STCW) Master Unlimited Certificate for other type of vessels? Do you still need "Yacht" Master certificates?

How much do you think I will save of that if I study bachelor of maritime management (captain). And is that a good route if I want to be an yacht captaib one day?

Out of interest- how many litres water do you use in a single wash down (roughly)? Thank you!

Don't be too hard on yourself my friend... I'm almost 40 and I'm right where you are. Back into the career that made me the most money. But not because I have to (I mean I have to do something) but because it's what I want to do. It's what gives me the most gratification in my day... You're right it's not as easy as it used to be, but deep down I still love it! Stay with whatever you're chasing, I believe life rewards that 🙏♥️🌅✌️

You are an amazing coach I am learning and I will apply my learning..

I've been in the cruising industry for the past 3 years. Now on researching yachting I was kinda lost, is it the same? Is it worse? What can I expect. I've been bingewatching your videos about cruising and brought me all the information that i was searching for. Thank you very much for these videos and I'd be happy to meet you onboard one day.

I frist started to work on cargo ships as deck cadet and i got my oow 500gt + (unlimted certificate) Now im thinking of starting my carrer on yachts.I have alot of certificates wich i got from maritime hugh school and cadetship can you explein me the benfits do they help me in the yachting industry?

I first went into yachting just for the money. But now I'm starting to love this job more and more every day. Good video my friend 👍
