About the Megayacht Industry
Let’s start with a few statistics
 | 10,000+ yachts over 24m (about 80ft.) that require
professional crew. |
| 87% of the world’s yachts are registered in the Cayman
Islands (Red Ensign) |
| 90% of these are owned by US nationals. |
| There are 18 miles of new builds underway in 25 countries
(the most ever!) |
| 6,900 new crew are needed each year to man the vessels
being constructed |
| Of the top 200 yachts in the world the smallest is 53
metres (about 178 ft.) |
| Current average build length is 34 metres (about 114 ft.)
|
There is already a shortage of qualified
personnel to fill the positions available. The increased enforcement of manning
level regulations plus the number of new builds add up to an even greater job
pool for accredited candidates.
If you are serious about embarking on a new career in
yachting here are some points to consider
| Obviously there is a lot of travel involved. |
| However, this is not a vacation. |
| Hard work and long hours are ‘par for the course’. |
| Identify your area of interest. e.g. Deck, Engineer,
Stewardess etc. |
| Research the availability of positions available on
megayachts. |
| Set a defined achievable objective. |
| Make it a priority to learn as much as you can about the
industry. |
| Prepare a Resume/CV that will highlight your
abilities/talents/and interests. |
| Training at all levels is essential for a successful
career in the yachting industry. |
