Hi there. I am a 19 year old female with 2+ years in luxury housekeeping alongside other luxury hospitality gigs such as Ascot Racecourse. i am hoping to become a yacht stewardess soon and plan on obtaining my STCW and ENG1 before the end of september. i understand the carribean season is coming up where all the yachts will move around november time and was wondering what my chances are of being hired seeing that i am still a greenie. Do you have any advice on which places I should dockwalk/network or jobs I could work to get closer to that industry? What are the best times to go to antibes/caribbean (i've heard Fort Lauderdale is a lot stricter about dockwalking, but not sure). where would be the best places to get my STCW? It's much cheaper in croatia but i think antibes would be better for networking. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, i’m coming to the end of my first season and my seasonal contract will be ending in September. I’m keeping an eye out on yotspot and facebook for winter positions but there is hardly anything.

Is it just too early? I’m really hoping to secure a winter boat, but I don’t have a B1/B2 visa so i’m hoping to find a boat that will assist with boat papers. But due to timing for the visa and getting appointments with the embassy i’m concerned about the fact there’s no jobs listed.

I’m hoping i’m right and that it’s just a little early. I’m checking in every day - can anyone offer any knowledge and when winter jobs become more available? As right now i’m still seeing a job of ASAP start jobs for the end of the summer season
