      It depends where you would like to be based. As I mentioned in the video, you will have to go to where the boats are. There is no one place to apply, you have to ask around and actively look for work.

    • @bunnyqueen9810

      I don't understand your question, sorry. Go back where?

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Firstly, you cannot leave your home country without the visa. So yes, you will not get hired if you don't have it....Seeing as you will need it to go over to the USA, this is a no-brainer.

  • @SaraMartin-i6j

      For the visa interview, no, but if you are applying with boat papers, then naturally you can say that it’s for work.

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean, you cannot apply for this type of visa if you say you are going over looking for work… they will then deny your visa and tell you to apply for a work visa instead

    • @StartYachting

      It can be tough because not all boats are open to tattoos. Check my playlist here “Things you should know”, in there is a video that I did exactly about the topic of tattoos.

  • @clifbradley
    @clifbradley ปีที่แล้ว

    And don't forget when you are making your CV, don't lie about skills you don't posess. If you don't speak Italian or Swedish, don't list it as a skill. Same thing as 'good with children' and you actually don't like kids at all. May seem silly but I've seen both of these scenarios pop up. A person lied about the languages she spoke amd another person got a job to be the caretker of the yacht owner's 2 children, aged 4 and 6 and she hated kids and they did not like her either as she had not the temperament, skillset or maturity to deal,with kids. A job that later fell to me because she was let go. Lying might get you the job, but you will be found out and then blacklisted. All yachties, including captains and crew placement reps talk. Your reputation is everything in yachting. Don't ruin it.

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      This just means that they are looking for someone who already has this visa sorted. So if you don't have one yet, then just keep looking for boats that don't require it. Right now it will be hard because most of them will be going over to the USA for the Caribbean season.

  • @6thgraderfriends
    @6thgraderfriends ปีที่แล้ว

    So the classes do teach you how to network. That's the biggest thing I'm worried about because I don't actually know how to do that. Learning service/laundry/cleaning etc. is the "easy" part.

    • @StartYachting

  • @JessicaBatlle-ev4yx
    @JessicaBatlle-ev4yx ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve been bartending and serving at upscale restaurants in west palm beach FL for years and I have a food handling certificate and a responsible alcohol vendor certificate. Do you happen to know if those are equivalent to the food handling certificate requirement you mentioned? I also have a medical background and was ACLS certified at one point. Plus I spent my childhood and young adult life driving my family’s boat (24” Boston whaler) and I have my boater’s license so I know a thing or two about small vessels/general boat safety and maintenance. Are there any portions/exams in the STCW that I can sit for without taking an actual course or is the course itself part of the requirements? I’m wondering if I can self-study and save some money. (BTW I’m not under the false impression that I don’t still have a lot to learn) Thank you!!

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      SO the STCW is a mandatory requirement for you to work on yachts. It might be different for boats that are based in the USA and dont really leave to go to other countries, but any vessel that goes to sea, all crew must have their STCW. There are 5 different certifications that make up the entirety of the STCW certification. You will also require a seafarers medical certificate such as an ENG1 or equivalent. I hope this helps?

    How much does officer get in yacht?

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends....the current going rate for a chief officer varies depending on the size and operating choices of the yacht...so it varies between $5500 to $8000 per month. (Charter vessels normally have a slightly lower salary as the crew make tips during the season)

    I am now in the process of doing the steps and courses to hopefully become a yachty next year, by then I'll have over a years experience working in a 5 star hotel with a Michelin star restaurant, working all departments..with the skills I would have learnt by next year I want to be able to get on a yacht once I've done the courses...I was thinking of taking a week or two of work next year and doing dock walking etc looking for work, but am I best off just quitting my job once I've saved up enough to spend say 6-8 weeks in a location? And hope I find a job? Or is it likely ill get a call back saying there's a job for you starting in 2 weeks if I go back to England or will it be more I have a job in 2 days if your in the area? I hope this makes sense! Thanks

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      It's easier to get hired if people see you there. Especially as a green crew member. We always recommend that you go to the yachting hub and make yourself available. It's not very common for yachts to hire green crew and fly them out to where they are...

    • @StartYachting
      @StartYachting ปีที่แล้ว

      There's no harm in testing the waters..I mean, you never know, you might land a job during those 2 weeks that you are there.....it happens really often that people land a job on their second day! You wont know until you try.

I have worked at a country club for years. I have worked in almost every field except management. I also have a few great members who want to write me a letter of recommendation. Do u think it will be harder cause of my age or do u feel my skills are beneficial enough to land me a job? I know tv is different than real life but I am just concerned because I don't want to keep spending money to get there if there no way. I have my stcws and I'm taking my eng1 in a few weeks.

If you are not a clock watcher and always keen on learning as much as possible, then I don't see how it would be difficult. Please take a look at our playlist labelled " Interviews with Yachties".
