About the course
Those seeking the superyacht lifestyle might be interested to learn that in just three weeks it’s possible to equip yourself with the initial skills needed to work onboard. UKSA’s Superyacht Hospitality course can launch your career working as a steward or stewardess working onboard superyachts in this luxury hospitality industry.
As the superyacht industry continues to grow year on year, so does the demand for well-trained interior crew to provide the exceptional levels of service and attention to detail expected onboard these luxury vessels.
At UKSA we have seen on average 80% of our students securing a role within 3 months of completing their training.

Prerequisites
Steward/Stewardess’s are typically required to work long hours and must be physically fit and able. You must be energetic and enthusiastic with an ability to work to a high standard in all tasks. Some previous experience in hospitality is a great bonus, but not at all necessary to join the training.
You must have an ENG1 seafarer medical fitness certificate to work at sea (click here for more details).
Whilst it’s not essential to hold your ENG1 to complete your training with UKSA, it is required to hold this to secure work in the industry. For this reason, we recommend all students gain their ENG1 before they attend training.

#SeaChangeStories
I have honestly had one of the best times of my life. I have made friends that I’ll have forever and the experience as a whole has had a huge impact on me. If I was to advise someone how to get the best from this course I would say go to the bar in the evenings, speak to people and take any advice that is offered. In this way you will be prepared for your future in the superyacht industry.
