| Publisher Description: Working on Yachts and Superyachts This book, in its fourth edition, is a must read, comprehensive look at the luxury yacht industry from the perspective of working as crew on board. Not only does it discuss what the industry involves, but how it works. What qualifications and/or paperwork are required for crew, what jobs are available and where, when and how to find them. It will also give you a real insight into what living in board is really like and includes information from crew working in yachting, giving up-to-date and sound advice. It is not a training manual for safety at sea and it is not a "how to" book on sailing. It is an in depth look at the jobs in particular the entry level positions of steward/stewardess, deckhand and chef and crew chef. This book gives anyone with a taste of 'wonderlust' an idea of what it is really like to live and work in one of the most exclusive, jet-set industries on earth. Reviews 'This book should be renamed the 'Bible for Superyacht Crew'' S Mayne 'This book is a definite must for anyone who wants to work on yachts. Tells you the ins and out of all jobs onboard. Totally invaluable'. IssyB 'I was recommended to buy this book in preparation for a course in Marine Hospitality and it was excellent reading. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to enter the marine industry as crew.' A Delecia |
