Become a Superyacht Deckhand with our Deckhand Training Course
If you would like the opportunity to travel the world and meet new people, why not train to become a deckhand for a superyacht? Working on a superyacht as a deckhand means working hard and a long way from home, but with the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world and earn a competitive wage whilst doing what you love, it’s no wonder that so many people choose the ‘yachtie’ life.
