Useful tips for crew

My advice for new yachties, get the right boat, don't leap at the first job. Also get some experience before you decide that you want to make a career out of it. - Susannah Duggan: Stew  
Useful tips for crew

My advice to anyone considering entering into the industry is be careful with the money you earn but don't be a scrooge. I would also tell newcomers that the job is a lot more demanding than most anticipate. - Amanda Garrett: Stew  
Useful tips for crew

My advice to new crew is when you are looking for a job as a couple don't cut your nose off to spite your face. If you can't find a job together, split up for a bit, something will almost always crop up further down the line. - Grant Hughes: Captain  
Micheal Cameron: Mate

My advice to those wanting to get on a boat is to hold out for the right job and then be prepared to work real hard once you are on board. If you want to do something stop thinking about and talking about it, just do it!  

Job scams and warning

Have you had an email offering you a job? Are you worried that it's legit?

  • Well if it's asking you to pay up front it's DEFINITELY not legit.
  • If it's offering you a job WITHOUT an interview it's NOT legit.
  • If they ask you to pay for Visas / work permits, it's a SCAM
  • If they ask you for an application fee, it's NOT legit.
  • If it's coming from West or North Africa it's almost certainly a scam.

Some scam job offers look very realistic indeed. They seem to be backed up with all sorts of data and management company names and agency names. If you have been offered a job on yacht without interview be very wary.

If you have doubts about the offer Google the persons' name, Google the content, Google the name of the vessel and see what you find. People are pretty good about making sure everyone is aware of scammers by posting warnings on the web.

Please contact us if you are concerned about a job offer.
