A Super Yacht costs thousands of dollars to run and therefore to charter, and because guests are laying out exorbitant amounts of cash for the hire of the boat, they expect the best service possible. Whether or not you are already experienced in the hospitality industry, the Super Yacht Stewardess training course offers you ‘hands on’ training which will provide you with the necessary skills to offer 5 Star service in an elite yachting environment.

This course is ideal for women (though men can become stewards too) who would prefer to work "below decks". It is a well paid position and the demand is high due to the number of stews required per boat - up to 12 per Super Yacht.
