A number of yachts will have a “no visible tattoo” policy. This includes tattoos that are visible in crew uniform. There are however various yachts out there that are now starting to accept tattoos as they become more common place. It’s best to include this information in your Neptunea Crew Profile if you wish to avoid such discussions.

To become crew on a yacht or superyacht you must have the STCW, Seaman’s Book and ENG1 qualification for safety onboard. This is the bare minimum that is required but there are plenty of other qualifications and skills that will help you to progress in the yachting industry.

Salaries as a crew member may vary a lot across the industry. Many factors can determine the salary such as your level of skills and experience, the position that you take on board and the size/type of yacht.

Not necessarily. English is the favored language of the seas, but those with language skills may find they have a competitive edge over other yacht crew when searching for work. English is the language typically spoken on board many yachts, regardless of where they are based, but language skills are valuable, and will help yachties in dealing with superyacht owners, charter guests and marine suppliers around the world.

Interviewing for a yacht job follows many of the same principals of shoreside interviewing. You should go equipped to answer questions about yourself, why you want to work on a yacht, your skills, your experience and what you could offer to the team onboard.
