Where
A career in the yachting industry can be an exciting opportunity taking you on journeys to many exciting, exotic and beautiful places throughout the world
Why
A career in the yachting industry provides a wonderful opportunity to travel and see the world and can also provide a very lucrative salary.
The seasons for the yachting industry are as follows:
Mediterranean: April through to September Caribbean: November through to April
Shipyards and Dry Dock
In between the seasons there are numerous crossings from the Mediterranean Sea to the Caribbean Atlantic Ocean and vice versa. During this period a refit of the vessel in a shipyard or dry dock may also take place. This can be a good place to gain knowledge and understanding about the yachting industry. Working in both a dry dock in a shipyard and on a crossing is a great place to gain a lot of hands on experience.
Boat Shows
Boat Shows are held annually and are also a good place to find short term work.
They are held in the Mediterranean in Monaco, Cannes and Antibes and the Caribbean and USA in Fort Lauderdale and St Martin, please refer to Contact Page for helpful links.
