Years ago, if you wanted to work onboard a yacht you walked the docks and asked each owner or captain for a job. You would start out as a deckhand or steward, and then train one-on-one with experienced professionals onboard to learn the job you were most interested in pursuing. In the last thirty or so years, that approach has changed dramatically. Today, in order to land a job onboard a luxury yacht or superyacht you must complete some training, no matter what the position.
