A career in yachting is not only professionally fulfilling, but personally and financially rewarding. On the average superyacht (24+ meters) there are four main departments: deck, engineering, interior and galley. Bluewater has the resources, accreditations, facilities and knowledge to train all four departments from start to finish.

With 900 superyachts currently in construction and 10,000 yachts already on the high seas, there has never been a higher demand for qualified, experienced yacht crew.

Want to become a captain? Realistically, there is no fast track, zero to hero, route to becoming the Master of a mega yacht. It takes time and a considerable investment to achieve this position. We can train you every step of the way from industry fresh Yacht Rating to Master 3000gt - Deck Certification (pdf)

The skills required behind the scenes to maintain the calm while the storm is happening below deck demands extremely qualified engineers. Understandably the courses to become a yacht engineer are tough but at Bluewater we have an unrivalled record, ahead of the global average, in getting people through this process - Engineering Certification (pdf)

Little things make a difference on luxury yachts. From flower arranging to silver service, maintaining high levels of service is of the utmost importance as this has a direct effect on the guests’ enjoyment. We provide training for all levels of knowledge with both foundation and management courses in interior, silver service, and wine.

Providing excellent food for both guests and crew is a crucial ingredient in running a successful charter yacht as well as private yachts. Bluewater offers an array of courses to suit cooks & chefs looking to broaden their skills, learn provisioning and develop menu plans.
