Experienced working within a dual-season programme
Looking for a long-term position and genuinely interested in growing within a programme

We are seeking an experienced Sole Stewardess to join a stunning 40m private sailing yacht operating a dual-season itinerary. The yacht will cruise the Mediterranean during the summer before crossing to the Caribbean for the winter season.

The ideal candidate will have at least two years of industry experience and must have previous sailing experience. Confidence in independently managing all aspects of the interior is essential.

You will be joining a close-knit crew of four, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to be part of a supportive, family-oriented team onboard.

Permanent Position

At least two years of professional experience within the yachting industry
Proven background working on sailing yachts (essential)
Capable of overseeing all interior duties without supervision
Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Able to take initiative and manage time effectively
Positive, team-focused attitude suited to a small crew environment

We have a fantastic Sole Stewardess opportunity available aboard a 25m+ private Sailing Yacht operating a dual-season programme. The vessel is currently planning to head to the States and Caribbean for the winter, followed by the Mediterranean for the summer. However, the itinerary is flexible, with the possibility of travelling further afield.

You will be joining a close-knit crew of four, so we are looking for a genuinely hardworking and hands-on Sole Stewardess who is confident managing all aspects of the interior independently and is keen to find their next long-term vessel. Service onboard will be varied, although generally more relaxed and casual on a day-to-day basis. A high level of attention to detail is essential, particularly when it comes to maintaining excellent housekeeping and laundry standards.

Ideally, the successful candidate will have some previous sailing experience, whether recreationally or professionally, although this is not essential. Above all, we are looking for someone with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a genuine interest in becoming a long-term member of the crew.

Candidate must have a strong work ethic and mindset
A true team player who wants to help others
Ideally has a B1B2 visa

Tilly has a great Third Stewardess position available aboard a 75m+ sailing yacht. The vessel is currently in the shipyard, where it is expected to remain until November, before moving into a dual-season programme.

We are looking for someone with strong fine-dining service experience who is confident delivering a high standard of guest service. While service will be a key part of the role, you must be happy to rotate across all areas of the interior, including housekeeping and laundry, and support the wider team wherever needed.
