Overview Lessons

This course offers a detailed insight into starting a career in the deck department within the superyacht industry.

It is designed to better understand the superyacht industry's professional culture and help you recognise the importance of setting good first impressions, the need for discretion and developing your professional network.

In this course, we will take a detailed look at how to start your career in the superyacht industry and hopefully clarify some of the uncertainty around what a deckhand does, the different categories of a superyacht, what qualifications you need, where and when to go, how to get there, and how to find a job.
