Superyacht Stewardess & Steward Training Course requirements

Interior crew 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. Also if you have aligned experience in beauty, food and beverages, catering, wine and art appreciation, massage, sports and training, these extra skills will also be useful in your career progression.

You must have an ENG1 seafarer medical fitness certificate to work at sea (Find out more about the ENG1 Medical Certificate). 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.

Assisted funding available

“Being at UKSA made me realise that you can achieve whatever you want to if you just pursue it. They equip you with everything you need to go into the industry confidently and care about your journey the whole way through. If you’re looking for an alternative to University or haven’t found something you want to do yet, a life on the water is an opportunity to have a unique adventure and make lasting memories.”
