Crew Positions

The jobs available on a yacht usually depend on the size of the yacht. Larger yachts tend to work with a larger variety of specialised crew positions, including pursers, ETOs, crew chefs, bosuns etc. Generally speaking you will find the following positions available;

Chief Officer / First Mate

• 2nd Officer / 3rd Officer
• Chief Engineer
• 2nd Engineer / EEOW
• ETO / IT-AV Officer
• Chief Stewardess
• 2nd Stewardess
• Junior Stewardess

Sous Chef / Crew Chef

2nd Officer

Chief / sole engineer, 2nd engineer, eto / at-iv officer, chief / solo steward(ess).

Steward(ess)

The captain is the person who is in command of the vessel. He/she is expected to have an extensive amount of seafaring experience either from the yachting or merchant marine sectors, preferably also with a thorough knowledge of the primary cruising destinations. The responsibilities include but are not limited to

• navigating safe passages across all oceans
• safe manning
• flag compliance
• safety of crew and passengers
• daily administration and budget control
• crew management
• refits and maintenance
• liaising with owners or management company

Great people and communication skills are an added bonus, as he/she will be dealing with people from all levels of society and cultural backgrounds in ports worldwide.

The deckhand’s duties usually consist of general maintenance such as polishing stainless, wash downs, scrubbing decks and assisting with paint and varnish projects. They may also be assisting with hands-on jobs in other departments when required. The deckhand will also assist with anchoring and mooring procedures such as line handling and running fenders. During owner’s trips and charters, deckies help set up the deck in the mornings and clear it by the end of a long day. Deckhands will also launch and retrieve water toys as well doing tender runs ashore. During passages the deckhand will often assist with navigation watches. It is essential that deck crew is very meticulous and careful in anything they do on deck. Attention to detail and an ability to work hard and long hours are required. The same goes for good work ethics, a positive attitude, being a team player and a willingness to take direction and orders from superiors. Last but not least a good hygiene and a professional appearance is expected at all times.

While it is beneficial to have some prior experience it is not essential on most yachts. You will learn as you go along. Yet, some certification is still needed.

Chief Engineer / Sole Engineer

Engineers on deck – Photo Credit: Captain Mark O’Connell – check out Mark’s amazing yachting photo portfolio at www.markoconnell.photodeck.com

The Jack-of-All-Trades, the Chief Engineer needs to have a very broad knowledge way beyond diesel engines and general mechanics. He must ensure the engineering department is efficiently and safely operated at all times. This includes all technical equipment on board such as main engines, generators, shore power, hydraulics, air-conditioning, refrigeration, stabilizers, propulsion, sewage and davit systems. He will also be expected to fix tender outboards, jet skis, wave runners, washing machines, dryers and hairdryers for that sake… As if that is not enough, where there is no ETO / AV IT Officer on board, the engineer should also have a good knowledge of electronics and navigational equipment and be able to administrate the yacht’s internet. He is also responsible for the majority of service and repair work, liaising with subcontractors and shore based Engineers ensuring all relevant operations are up and running, and up to standard.

Licensed Chief Engineers are high in demand and are often offered attractive employment packages including private cabin, rotations and a salary that sometimes rivals that of the captain. Engineers are usually employed on yachts in the 30m / 100’ range and up.

• Chief Engineer (SV) – less than 500GT and 3,000kW

Further info:  In the Facebook group Yacht Stewardess and Steward Tips you may have any further questions answered by experienced interior crew. It is an excellent group, which will help increase your knowledge about everything ‘’interior’’ on yachts!

Depending on the size of the yacht, interior crew positions may be divided into specialized functions such as

• service steward/ess,
• housekeeping steward/ess
• laundry steward/ess.

On the majority of yachts, however, the interior team shares the daily tasks under the supervision of the Chief Steward/ess (or Purser) and may be referred to as hostess, 2 nd Steward/ess, 3 rd Steward/ess or simply Junior Steward/ess.

The yacht steward/ess’ function on board is to make the guests feel pampered and cared for at all times and to provide a superior level of service (think of the standards the Queen of England requires). You will be serving VIPs and some of the wealthiest people in the world in a setting where a 7-star service is always expected. Obviously, working 14-hour days (or more) this is not for everyone, but a with smile on your lips, a can-do attitude and a friendly accommodating personality, you will find that most guests will be a lot easier to please. A good knowledgeable Chief Steward/ess will help ease your entry into the industry by providing you with heaps of directions and advice, so it is just up to you pursue this unique opportunity and learn as much as possible!

Typical stewardess duties include (but are not limited to);

• housekeeping
• laundry / ironing
• setting tables
• serving drinks and meals
• Assisting with inventories, provisioning, updating of checklists etc.

Note: job duties can vary from yacht to yacht

Surely, the job can be demanding, but you do earn good money, get to see the world and meet some really cool people on your way, so it is not all that bad, after all J

The Chef position is regarded by many as being the most demanding job on a yacht. On some yachts you will be running the galley having to cook for millionaires and billionaires, who with very few exceptions expect Michelin standards both in terms of taste and creative presentation. During a typical day on charter, guests will require breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, hors d’ouevres, canapés, dinner, snacks – and then there is the crew, which will need at least lunch and dinner. As if that is not enough, some might be vegan, be allergic or simply just picky about what they eat. By the end of a long day, you will need to clean your galley to superyacht standards after having prepared for the following day, when the show starts over once again. Add to all that, King Neptune is not always in a favourable mood, why you must be able to cook in all sea conditions.

For this reason, it is a must to be exceptionally organized, creative, hardworking and a good team player with a positive attitude. You must be able to remain cool under pressure – there is no room for drama queens… Remember you live, work and play together with the rest of the crew! Solid restaurant or hotel experience will definitely be helpful but not always required. Where crew agencies try to help experienced chefs find work, less experienced chefs are more likely to find jobs through dockwalking, networking or applying directly to captains’ job posts on Facebook etc.

On a yacht, you find various chef roles. These will depend on the size of the vessel and the owner’s requirements. You will need to decide if you want to run your own galley and cook for crew and guests by yourself or if you want to work as a chef being part of a bigger team. Typical chef positions are

The Head Chef manages at least one other chef (sous chef and/or crew chef). You are required to have an extensive cooking knowledge with previous restaurant experience, preferably to Michelin star standards. You will have an extensive knowledge of produce, nutrition, diets, allergies, food safety and storage. The head chef manages menu planning, provisioning, accounting, inventory, cooking as well as he/she is responsible for keeping the galley in a pristine condition.

The sole chef may have restaurant experience or even come from a yachting background from where he/she moves onto the chef position. You will be managing menu planning, provisioning, shopping, galley cleaning, accounting and inventory as well as cooking for both crew and guests. On some smaller yachts  (<30 meters / 90’) this position may be combined with an interior role, e.g. cook/stew

The sous chef / crew chef position is a great way to get started with a career cooking on yachts. Whereas it will be expected from the sous chef, no formal education is required for the crew chef. With that said, you must have a passion for cooking and being willing to add to that with further education. A sous chef/crew chef plans crew menus, prepares crew meals, assists the head chef with provisioning and guest meals as well as with galley cleaning. On some yachts the position may be combined with assisting the interior or the exterior department when needed.

More great advice by Justine Murphy, of   muymuybueno chefs ;

1. What’s the first move a chef should make when they’re considering yachting?

Ideally talking to someone in the industry first. There are so many great yacht chef Facebook groups, posting there for insight and advice or searching on previous discussions is beneficial, in real-time from chefs who are working on yachts. They can offer really helpful and supportive advice. It is a very special community, and everyone wants to help.

Getting everything together is the first point of call, booking in for your STCW2010 – accounting for the cost of the course and accommodation is something to consider and save for, taking your ENG1 medical just before you wish to start looking for work as this has an expiry of 2 years and the clock starts from when you have it done.

Once you start to register with agencies, you should have everything else ready to hand and can work through seamlessly filling out and uploading all to your profile. This includes your best plated food photos to showcase your work, menu plans, documents and references. Taking the time to fill out all areas correctly and doing so carefully and well. A good headshot of you in a chef jacket on your CV, and ensure it is spellchecked too.

2. What do chefs need to understand about yachting?

It’s hard work. Long hours and you need to prepare for the unexpected at every turn. Massively good organisation skills, time management, and communication is key. Coming from a restaurant where you have been part of a large brigade to ultimately doing everything yourself, is a big jump for some to transition with.

Especially as a sole chef, many coming from restaurants often find it easier to join as crew or sous on a larger vessel if they have always been in that dynamic and thrive from it, plus the head chefs on these sizes are more likely to give a chef from restaurants their first yacht role, as they will reap from having their recent experience on board, any new techniques and more.

Others relish the challenge as a sole chef and the chance to deliver with their own guest food, so will take it on and have to learn and adapt along the way. Either path will take you to head chef, if you are in it for a career move and willing to invest into the next few years ahead.

3. What kind of prior experience is best?

There are two types of yacht chefs.

Those with culinary training such as attending catering college accreditation and these chefs have then gone on to work in good restaurants, some Rosette or Michelin Star establishments, and enhanced their repertoire and really honed their craft and developed their own style.

The other, are cooks who get into the industry from a sheer love of cooking, and are really good cooks, who then develop further over the years ahead through short or longer term courses to continue learning, developing their skills and become incredible chefs. Some may then work to gain culinary qualifications further down the line too. Much like the route I took myself. Being self-taught is nothing to be frowned upon, plenty of amazing chefs in the world are and the same can be said within the superyacht industry too. For some vessels, especially much larger ones, it is essential to hold an NVQ or the equivalent, an important part of the required paperwork to be able to sign onto the vessel with. What matters more than anything is a good attitude, passion and love for what you do, and the rest will all come and is part of your journey ahead.

4. What yacht training should they take, chef specific or not? Do you usually recommend the Ship’s Cook Certificate?

For anyone brand new into yachting, they require sea time in order to have their Ships’ Cook Certificate, once they have this then it is very useful to acquire to ensure they are not missing out on good roles which may require it, especially if wishing to work on larger yachts, and also if you are not a culinary trained chef, having this in hand is the next best thing to validate that you can deliver just as well as a culinary trained chef.

5. What qualities do hiring managers look for in superyacht chefs?

Coming to the table with the right attitude to start with. Being humble is also a redeeming quality. Just because you may have been a head chef on land, doesn’t translate the same way on yachts, you still need to get your foot in the door and then commit to that first role. Longevity in previous roles. If you have proven loyalty with previous employers on land and excellent references, this will strengthen your profile and reflect well for any vessel providing that first all-important first yacht role.

6. Best tips to find that first job?

Registering with good reputable agencies for certain, mymuybueno Private Chefs of course would be a great place to start, as we specialise in chef placement and we are MCA accredited, MLC certified. That provides a good starting block and then the rest is down to you. Networking, being proactive, staying positive are all the attributes that will help. Regularly checking in with the agencies you register with, and building a relationship with them, individually, so they can each get to know you, and help find the right first role.

7. The importance of your food photos and menus?

Really putting the time, thought and love into your menu plans for both guests and crew, as well as your best plated food photos, matters. It is what makes you and your skills, background and techniques stand out, and will set you apart from other chefs. Think about the Med and Caribbean seasons, the temperature, the produce, and allow your menus to reflect those ingredients, seasonality, and more. No one wants to eat a lamb shank for dinner on anchor, in the middle of 35 degree heat in the midst of summer, in the Mediterranean. That thinking ahead, and those thoughts and details make all the difference, as well as the care and love that will go into your crew menu too. Remember it’s the Captain reading what he will be eating, so make sure you make sure it’s well balanced with plenty of variation. Good clear photos that best present you, I always ask for a starter, mains and dessert, as this can show your skill across them all. If you excel in pastry, pick a dish that really displays that. Dishes that best represent you, your skill set and what you are good at.”

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck sailing yacht’s gary king’s issues are in the spotlight again (he’s ruining the show), the family chantel’s winter everett reveals stylish photo shoot after weight loss amid rumors of brand-new spin-off.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht recently returned to Bravo, and at least one cast member is already falling down on the job. In the months leading up to the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 premiere, speculation kept rising over whether this Below Deck spin-off would ever see the light of day again, mainly due to Gary King's misconduct accusations . Now that the show is back, Gary isn't the only cast member providing lots of drama for viewers . Chef Cloyce Martin has gotten mixed reviews for his skills and ability to handle the stresses that come along with the job.

A Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast member comes under fire for having fun with the guests instead of doing his job--and Captain Glenn Shephard isn't happy.

Bravo recently shared a preview clip from the next episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, which kicks off the second day of the charter by showing Chef Cloyce having fun in the water with the guests. Captain Glenn Shephard orders Gary to tell Cloyce to come back to the boat so he can get started on preparing lunch for the guests, which is supposed to be served in 30 minutes. " If you are a bit young for the role you're fulfilling, you should err on the side of professionalism ," Glenn explains in a confessional.

When Cloyce finally makes it back, Glenn questions whether he can get lunch ready in time. Cloyce confidently says he'll only need 20 minutes. During his own confessional, the chef said that he's worked with captains in the past who were laid-back and didn't mind him having a bit of fun. Later on in the preview clip, the guests sit down at the table, ready to eat, but Cloyce is still working away in the galley, not ready. The guests have been waiting for over 15 minutes, and Cloyce finally admits he underestimated how much time he would need .

What Chef Cloyce Martin’s Lack Of Professionalism Means For His Job

Parsifal iii has high expecations of the crew.

Over the summer, another chef from the franchise faced accusations that he wasn't the right fit for the job . During Below Deck Med season 9 , Chef Johnathan Shillingford was accused of faking his poor skills in the galley. Early on in the season, it became clear that Johnathan had a difficult time following the preference sheets. At one point, he even served a dish to a guest who could have had a major medical emergency if she had eaten the food.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

With these red flags still on the minds of fans, it feels like déjà vu that on Sailing Yacht , there's yet another chef who's not living up to the high expectations the crew should be reaching. Colin may have served under past captains with lax rules, but on Parsifal III , there's an expectation of excellent service. There have been many guests in the past who have waited a long time for meals to be served. While this is nothing new, it doesn't seem like the chefs in the Below Deck franchise have any intention of improving their time management skills .

Our Take On Chef Cloyce Martin Abandoning The Galley

Chef cloyce could be the first cast member fired.

These charter guests paid a lot of money for the trip; they shouldn't be waiting around a long time when the crew is very aware of when meals should be served. I'm sure the guests had fun with Cloyce in the water, but the chef should have known better since it's, ultimately, his responsibility . Almost every season of Below Deck features at least one firing. If Sailing Yacht season 5 follows that pattern, then Chef Cloyce could be the first one on the chopping block. Cloyce has a reality TV past, which could fuel accusations that he's a producer plant.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Press Release  Healey-Driscoll Administration Announces $161 Million for Economic Development Projects Through Community One Stop for Growth

Media contact   for healey-driscoll administration announces $161 million for economic development projects through community one stop for growth, karissa hand, press secretary.

WORCESTER — Today, Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao and Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus announced more than $161 million for 313 grant awards to support local economic development projects in 171 communities across the state. The awards were made through the Community One Stop for Growth , an application portal overseen by the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) that provides a streamlined process for municipalities and organizations to apply for 12 state grant programs that fund economic development projects related to planning and zoning, site preparation, building construction, infrastructure, and housing development.  

The grants were announced during a kickoff celebration in Worcester at the site of the Greendale Revitalization project, which is a recipient of an award through the MassWorks grant program, one of the largest programs in the One Stop. 

"We are proud to be a state of strong cities and towns, made stronger by programs like the Community One Stop for Growth, which deliver the resources our communities need to grow their local economies and meet the needs of their residents," said Governor Maura Healey. “Communities will use these grants to build more housing and lower costs, improve road safety, revitalize their downtowns, create new jobs and more. We can’t wait to see the results of these investments all across the state.”

"The One Stop is an important vehicle for supporting our communities by empowering them to pursue their vision for economic growth," said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. "By working together and keeping our focus at the local level, we are creating opportunity, supporting affordability, and enhancing quality of life for all of our residents."  

Through this round of the One Stop, EOED received 756 applications from 510 organizations with projects in 229 communities across the state. Of the 313 applications awarded, 33 percent are located in a rural or small town, 32 percent are located in a Gateway City, 48 percent are located in a Housing Choice Community, and 50 percent are located in an MBTA Community . 40 communities are receiving a grant through the One Stop for the first time.

EOED estimates the One Stop awards will help create more than 18,000 new units of housing, including 4,000 new affordable units, 31,000 new permanent jobs, and more than 14 million square feet of new commercial development.

"Every year, the Community One Stop for Growth invests in transformative projects that unlock local and regional economic growth," said Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao . "We are grateful to the hundreds of municipal partners, developers, and community leaders who submitted applications, and we look forward to partnering with you to bring your economic development projects to life in the years ahead."  

“Cities and towns across the state are stepping up to plan and develop housing for individuals, families, and the people who keep Massachusetts running,” said Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus . “The awards announced today are a recognition of this hard work and will support local infrastructure improvements, community planning efforts and economic development initiatives that are essential to building resilient and durable communities.”

The FY25 One Stop program awards include:  

• MassWorks Infrastructure Program - $95 million awarded to 62 projects  
• HousingWorks Infrastructure Program - $19,252,000 awarded to 12 projects
• Underutilized Properties Program - $18,704,674 awarded to 37 projects
• Rural Development Fund - $10 million awarded to 49 projects
• Site Readiness Program - $5,238,682 awarded to 18 projects
• Housing Choice Grant Program - $4,893,715 awarded to 21 projects
• Community Planning Grant Program - $2,841,336 awarded to 34 projects
• Urban Agenda Grant Program - $2.5 million awarded to 26 projects 
• Brownfields Redevelopment Fund - $1,380,050 awarded to seven projects 
• Collaborative Workspace Program - $1,100,549 awarded to 19 projects
• Massachusetts Downtown Initiative - $600,000 awarded to 24 projects 
• Real Estate Services Technical Assistance - $250,000 awarded to six projects 

The full list of grant recipients and project descriptions is available on the EOED website.  

MassWorks, one of the state’s largest competitive grant programs, offers cities and towns flexible capital funding to support and accelerate economic development and job growth. This year, the administration is awarding grants to 56 communities through the MassWorks program. Among this year’s awardees, 28 are supporting mixed-use, housing, or commercial developments and 12 are improving road safety in small towns. These projects will create 5,158 units of housing, 7,163 permanent jobs, and 22,710 construction jobs.

HousingWorks provides municipalities with grants for a variety of infrastructure improvements that spur housing development and preservation. This year, the administration is awarding grants to 12 communities to create over 1,550 new housing units and preserve over 690 units of housing.  

“Our team administers five of the One Stop programs on behalf of the Commonwealth, identifying the best opportunities to overcome barriers to development and drive progress in our cities and towns,” said MassDevelopment Deputy Director and Senior Executive Vice President Marcos Marrero . “Whether through a funding grant or technical assistance, these awards will create tangible impacts for Massachusetts in the form of new housing, new jobs, and more vibrant neighborhoods.”

“I feel incredibly grateful for the Healey-Driscoll administration’s decision to increase accessibility for community development funds,” said Mayor of Worcester Joseph M. Petty. “It was a privilege to host the announcement in our great city, at a location where we will undoubtedly benefit from the program.”

“Thank you to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for its continued support and funding of critical economic development projects in Worcester through the Community One Stop for Growth program,” said Worcester City Manager Eric D. Batista . “This program enables projects like housing development, downtown revitalization, job creation, infrastructure improvement, and community empowerment that are critical to Worcester and municipalities across the Commonwealth.”

“Today’s investment means real money for infrastructure, housing, and community development is headed to cites and towns statewide,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “This is a part of our all-hands-on-deck approach to solving the challenges of our time, and I’m grateful to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for their quick and effective use of these dollars that were allocated by the Legislature.”

“The grants being celebrated today will improve our cities and towns’ infrastructure by funding critical local economic development projects,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I am proud of the work that we have done in the Legislature to appropriate funding for the many important projects that have been made possible by the Community One Stop for Growth program, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact that they will have on our Commonwealth.”

“The Community One Stop for Growth is a transformative initiative that empowers cities and towns to lead their own economic development,” said Senator Robyn Kennedy (D- First Worcester District) . “These grants provide vital support for housing, infrastructure, and job creation, which will have lasting impacts on communities like Worcester. By investing in projects that address local needs, we’re ensuring long-term growth and opportunity for residents across the Commonwealth.”

“Grants like those awarded through Community One Stop for Growth are key to ensuring our cities and towns continue to thrive,” said Senator Michael Moore (D-Millbury). “I’m thrilled to be here with other members of the Worcester Delegation, the Healey-Driscoll Administration, and the community to celebrate these investments in our infrastructure, housing, community programs, and more. Looking to the future, I am eager to continue the Legislature’s collaboration with the Governor to ensure our communities have access to the funding they need to support every Bay Stater.”

“This grant will provide a once-in-a-generation chance to revitalize Greendale’s historic industrial campus that has been a cornerstone of the Worcester community for over a century,” said State Representative John Mahoney (D-13th Worcester District) . “Thank you to the Healey-Driscoll Administration for recognizing the potential in announcing the Community One Stop for Growth Awards. By reimaging this space, we will lay the groundwork for new industries to flourish in Worcester well into the next century.” 

“I am elated to see funding of $2.8M by way of the One Fund Growth Grant come to the Greendale Revitalization Project,” said State Representative James O’Day (D-14 Worcester District).  “This project will be a vital economic development opportunity for the city that will enhance West Boylston Street’s commercial corridor by attracting new manufacturing and life sciences companies to Worcester and bring new job opportunities to the Greendale neighborhood.”

“As Worcester continues to focus on equitable economic development, it is important to have the support of the Commonwealth on efforts that support small businesses and a transition to the new green economy,” said State Representative David LeBoeuf (D-17th Worcester District) . “These One Stop investments are going to have a positive impact on improving the overall wellbeing of our neighborhoods in the region.”
