Our Vacancies

You must already hold a valid B1B2 visa.

We are currently on the lookout for a Second Stewardess to join a fantastic 30m private sailing yacht based in the United States, working closely alongside the Chief Stewardess. This operates with a dual-season programme, offering a great opportunity for a greener crew member to grow and develop their skills within the interior department.

We're ideally looking for someone with at least one season of industry experience, though we're open to a hardworking Junior Stewardess with a couple of weeks of day-work experience, and some sailing experience is a bonus but not essential; candidates must be mature, as this is a role alongside an older crew, and the crew culture overall is relaxed and easygoing, suited to those seeking a professional, low-key environment rather than a high-energy social atmosphere.

Permanent Position
Start Date: End of September
Salary: 4,000 USD 
Leave: 30 days 

Holds a valid B1/B2 visa
Brings a season or more of yachting experience, though a driven junior crew member with some day work under their belt will also be considered
Demonstrates a settled, professional demeanour that fits naturally alongside an older, established crew
Seeks a steady, understated environment over a fast-paced or socially heavy one

Crew & Concierge is on the hunt for a skilled and driven Second Stewardess to join the team aboard a distinctive 65m+ new-build sailing yacht. The vessel operates a dual-season schedule featuring an adventure-packed sailing itinerary. Given how often the sails will be raised, previous sailing background is a must. This position is best suited to someone who truly loves long days at sea, since that will form the core of the programme.

The successful applicant will bring 2–3 years of yachting experience, including a minimum of 1 year working as a Second Stewardess, and demonstrate confidence across every aspect of interior operations, along with a solid track record in inventory management. Experience on a larger vessel is essential, as is prior experience in a leadership role. As part of a three-person interior team, you'll need to be at ease running service solo when required, while also lending support to the Third Stewardess.

A good grasp of wine is a strong plus, especially with WSET Level 1 or 2 certification, and a valid driver's licence is essential. We're on the lookout for a genuine all-rounder, someone flexible, comfortable navigating change, outgoing, and approachable, who will flourish within a tight-knit crew and help sustain the warm, family-oriented atmosphere onboard.

Start Date: August (may be some flexibility)
