Overview

The Steward or Stewardess is on the frontline when it comes to delivering outstanding service to guests and owners. Having a full understanding of your role and the confidence in delivering that unique experience on-board requires special skills and a lot of practice.

This course is suitable if you already hold your STCW Basic Safety Training certificates and are looking for some additional knowledge and training on the role of a Steward or Stewardess.

Course programme

At Flying Fish you will get that practical experience and confidence you need to work as a Steward or Stewardess from one of our industry experts who will teach you all you need to know about the interior in just one week. Working on-board a luxury yacht requires attention to detail and being able to work as part of a small team or on your own. As a stewardess you will gain a specific set of skills that interior crew will learn to perfect to a very high standard.

This one-week Interior Course is part of our two-week Superyacht Stewardess Course. You will learn everything about life on-board, silver service, how to make good coffee, arrange flowers, as well as organise and deliver a cocktail party.

To work on-board a large yacht you are required to hold your STCW qualifications. If you don’t have your STCW basic safety training certificates yet then consider joining our Superyacht Steward and Stewardess Course.

New for 2018

We now include the Personal Watercraft (Jet Ski) within our two-week Superyacht Stewardess Course. If your first job is on a smaller yacht then having a PWC qualification will allow you to drive the Jet Ski’s on-board.

Inclusions

One week Superyacht Essentials Course.
CIEH Level 2 Food and Hygiene Course.
Certification and course notes.
